Reading files from any package is essential before production. But since we as developers love automating things. Validating package accessibility and detect extensions among other things should be done by code.

The good news is, this can be achieved easily in the node file system .

let's start by working on getting a file extension. We have input: filename.extension splitting the input by "." should achieve our goal easily.

`filename.extension`.split(".") 
// (2) ["filename", "extension"]

`filename.test.extension`.split(".");
// (3) ["filename", "test", "extension"]

As you notice, we need to get the last element of the result. This can be done in different ways. One of them is using pop which returns the last element of the array.

function getExtension(fileFullName) {
  return fileFullName.split(".").pop();
}

We still have a problem. We don't have the file full name. We actually have to auto-detect the extension by knowing the project root.

The first step, using readdirSync to read all files that exist in our directory.

const files = fs.readdirSync(dir);

// (4) [ 'a.js', 'b.js', 'index.js', 'package.json' ]

Then, we can use find which returns the value of the first element that satisfies function result.

const found = [10, 20, 30].find((number) => number > 10);
// 20

Now let's update our function

import fs from "fs";

function getExtension(rootDir, entry) {
  const files = fs.readdirSync(rootDir);
  // (4) [ 'a.js', 'b.ts', 'index.js', 'README.md', 'package.json' ]

  const filename = files.find((file) => {
    // return the first files that include given entry
    return file.includes(entry);
  });

  const extension = filename.split(".").pop();

  return extension;
}

// reading form current directory
const result = getExtension(".", "b");

// result: ts

We can still upgrade our function, as we usually have an index as default entry from the current directory.

function getExtension(rootDir = ".", entry = "index") {
  //
}

const result = getExtension();

// result: js

Our mission is not finished yet, but that's enough for now. Next, we will build validate together.

See you soon!
