Large media and Node.js file system

[tskulley]

Hello I have a quick question, I have a site using netlify large media to handle my image files. In the site I want to get the total number of images in the folder and display them. I am trying to do that via a Node function

   const paths = ['/assets/images/action'] 
 fs.readdir(path, function (err, content) {
name = path.split('/').pop(); 
results[name] = content.length;
}

That isn’t the entire function I’m just omitting the rest for brevity. The issue is no matter what path configuration I use ‘assets/images’ ‘src/assets/images’ ‘./assets/images’ Node returns telling me the file path doesn’t exist. My question is what is the large media file structure and how can I access the folders my images are stored in?

my netlify site is https://keen-colden-282a59.netlify.app/

I appreciate it but I actually found an older Netlify community post that answered the question for me

Using Node.js functions from client-side Javascript

Hi everyone, I have made some basic functions in Node.js that read and write to other files. I need to call these functions on command, such as when a button is pressed. Here is one example of the logic that I need: <button onClick="readFileWithNodeJS()">Click me</button> I have a file called test.js with two functions: readFile() and writeFile(param) and then a handler method. I need to call these functions from my client-side javascript. test.js: var fs = require(“fs”); function readFi…

I actually just added a Fauna database and stored the information I needed there.

Thank you for the response.
