Dirent - Node documentation
class Dirent

Usage in Deno

import { Dirent } from "node:fs";

A representation of a directory entry, which can be a file or a subdirectory within the directory, as returned by reading from an fs.Dir. The directory entry is a combination of the file name and file type pairs.

Additionally, when readdir or readdirSync is called with the withFileTypes option set to true, the resulting array is filled with fs.Dirent objects, rather than strings or Buffer s.
