console.log(tree)
})
API
readFileTree(basedir[, opts], cb)
Recursively read contents of all files in the directory basedir.
opts can be an object:
opts.encoding- encoding to pass tofs.readFile(), by default a Buffer is returned
cb is a node-style callback receiving an error in the first parameter, and a tree object in the second.
Object keys in the tree object are file names, while values are the file contents. Nested directories have another tree object as their value.
For example, the test/fixture directory results in this object:
{ 'one.js': '1;\n',
'two.js': '2;\n',
a: {
b: {
'c.txt': 'this is c\n',
c: {
'd.txt': 'file d\n' } } } }
readFileTree.sync(basedir[, opts])
The same, but sync. Returns tree.

- write-file-tree - write an object to nested file tree, with one file for each value
- flat - flatten and unflatten objects—you can use this to create an object with relative paths as keys:
flat(readFileTree('./dest'), { delimiter: '/' }) // { 'a.txt': '', // 'some/dir/name/b.txt': '' }
