node-du

A simple JavaScript / Node.js implementation of du -sb. Available in npm as du.

const du = require('du')

let size = await du('/home/rvagg/.npm/')
console.log(`The size of /home/rvagg/.npm/ is: ${size} bytes`)

Also comes with a dujs command if installed with npm install du -g, just in case du -sb was too many 2 too many characters for you to type.

API: du(directory[, options[, callback]])

• options: An optional options object may be passed as the second argument. Currently there is only two options, a 'filter' function that is passed a full file path and is expected to return a truthy/falsy value to indicate whether the file is included in size calculations and a disk option. If disk is true, then block sizing is used when calculating the size. (get's you closer to real du numbers).
• callback: If you supply a callback you'll get (error, size) called on it. If you don't supply a callback, du() returns a Promise which you can await on for size.

With a filter option:

let size = await du('/tmp/foo.leveldb/', { filter: function (f) { return /\.sst$/.test(f) } })
console.log(`The size of the sst files in /tmp/foo.leveldb/ is: ${size} bytes`)
