implementing Recursive Directory Traversal in Node.js When Exceeding Maximum Call Stack Size
I tried several approaches but none seem to work... I'm a bit lost with I'm working on a personal project and I'm working on a recursive function to traverse a directory structure and list all files and subdirectories in Node.js. However, when I try to traverse a directory that contains a very deep hierarchy, I encounter the behavior `RangeError: Maximum call stack size exceeded`. Here’s the code snippet I have: ```javascript const fs = require('fs'); const path = require('path'); function listFiles(dir) { const files = fs.readdirSync(dir); files.forEach(file => { const filePath = path.join(dir, file); const stat = fs.statSync(filePath); console.log(filePath); if (stat.isDirectory()) { listFiles(filePath); } }); } listFiles('./my-deep-directory'); ``` I've tested this function on various directories, but it seems like the maximum call stack size is reached when the directory has a depth of about 100 levels. I've considered using an iterative approach with a stack, but I really want to maintain the recursive structure for clarity. Is there a way to manage or mitigate this limitation in Node.js, or is recursion not suitable for deeply nested structures? I am currently using Node.js v16.13.0. Any suggestions or best practices would be greatly appreciated! I'm working on a web app that needs to handle this. Has anyone else encountered this? This is part of a larger desktop app I'm building. I'd love to hear your thoughts on this.
