impossible to use correctly the node module 'fs' : get the error "fs.readdir is not a function"

[spacecodeur]

I work on Symfony 5, from "node side" I have a main javascirpt "main.js" and, in the same directory, a directory called "modules" that contains some javascript Script (they are Class).

From the "main,js" I instantiate manually all the modules class like this :

import {Module1} from "./modules/Module1";
import {Module2} from "./modules/Module2";
// ...
import {Module2} from "./modules/ModuleN";

function loadModules(){
    return [
        new module1(),
        new module2(),
        // ...
        new moduleN(),
    ];
}

Now I'm looking for instantiate automatically all modules files.

So I must get all files names in the directory 'modules' and do something like this :

function loadModules(){
        const fs = require('fs');
        fs.readdir('./modules', function (files){
            files.forEach(function(file){
                // ...
            });
        });
}

But when I use the readdir method of "fs", I get this error in front side : fs.readdir is not a function

I followed this solution webpack-contrib/css-loader#447 (comment) , but I keep the same error message

Any help is welcome :)

Hi @kegilko,

I'm not sure what you mean by "node side" but unless you're building a Node.js app you probably don't want to use fs.

A good way to achieve what you describe would be to use require.context which would then be interpreted by Webpack at build time.
