[Replacement]: Several packages can be replaced with `fs.readdir(..., { recursie: true })`

[TomerAberbach]

Package to replace

get-all-files, fdir (for simple usages), recursive-fs (for .read), recur-readdir, recursive-files, recursive-readdir

Suggested replacement(s)

Use native fs.readdir(..., { recursie: true }) instead

Manifest type

native (replaceable by a built-in platform feature)

Rationale

Most of these packages were created due to the lack of native recursive directory listing support. Now the functionality is available natively:

• https://nodejs.org/api/fs.html#fspromisesreaddirpath-options
• https://nodejs.org/api/fs.html#fsreaddirsyncpath-options

I published get-all-files ~8 years ago for this reason, but I've now deprecated it.

Availability

recursive option was added in Node v18.17.0

Code example (optional)

[43081j]

• recursive-readdir -> readdir with recursive: true
• recursive-files -> 5K downloads, unused
• recur-readdir -> 5K downloads, unused
• recursive-fs -> 130k downloads, somewhat used. replace with fs.rm, fs.readdir, fs.cp
• get-all-files -> 16K downloads, pretty much unused

so maybe we should just add recursive-readdir and, maybe recursive-fs.

if we add recursive-fs, it'd probably need its own doc since it has multiple replacements. since its only 130k downloads, we could also not bother...
