listFilesRecursive function

List<FileMetadata> listFilesRecursive(String folderPath, { List<FileMetadata>? fileList, String relativePath = '', })

Implementation

  final gitignorePatterns =
      gitignorePath.existsSync() ? gitignorePath.readAsLinesSync() : [];
  gitignorePatterns.add('.git'); // Always ignore .git folder.

  final files = Directory(folderPath).listSync();
  for (var file in files) {
    final fileName = file.uri.pathSegments.last;
    final fullPath = file.path;
    final relativeFilePath = path.join(relativePath, fileName);

    // Skip file if it matches .gitignore patterns
    if (gitignorePatterns
        .any((pattern) => RegExp(pattern).hasMatch(relativeFilePath))) {
      continue;
    }
    // var newList = List.from(fileList);
    if (FileSystemEntity.isDirectorySync(fullPath)) {
      listFilesRecursive(fullPath,
          fileList: fileList, relativePath: '$relativeFilePath/');
    } else {
      fileList.add(FileMetadata(
          content: [],
          fileName: fileName,
          path: relativePath,
          index: fullPath,
          contentType: null));
    }
    // fileList = newList;
  }
  return fileList..sort((a, b) => a.fileName.compareTo(b.fileName));
