How extract file names in nodejs?

Question

I have a project, that responds with items that user searches. Each item has its type and meta number (404-0. 404 for type, 0 for meta). Also I have a folder with item images, image name corresponds to the type and meta number of the item. How can I get through all image folder and extract only its name (404-0 without .img) ?

[
  {
    "type": 0,
    "meta": 0,
    "name": "Air",
    "text_type": "air"
  },
  {
    "type": 1,
    "meta": 0,
    "name": "Stone",
    "text_type": "stone"
  },
  {
    "type": 1,
    "meta": 1,
    "name": "Granite",
    "text_type": "stone"
  },
  {
    "type": 1,
    "meta": 2,
    "name": "Polished Granite",
    "text_type": "stone"
  },
  {
    "type": 1,
    "meta": 3,
    "name": "Diorite",
    "text_type": "stone"
  },
  {
    "type": 1,
    "meta": 4,
    "name": "Polished Diorite",
    "text_type": "stone"
  }
]

image folder

You need to use the fs module or the global pattern. https://nodejs.org/api/fs.html I'm pretty sure, however, that with a bit more effort you could've come up with a slightly preciser scenario, it doesn't really look like you put much effort before asking, in my opinion. — briosheje, Aug 24 '20 at 10:28

Have you tried? const files = fs.readdirSync('path/to/folder').map(name => name.split('.')[0])
