Hi, Panduso, welcome!

In Node.js (server side JavaScript) you can do this using the fs plugin that’s built in:

const fs = require('fs');

// directory path
const dir = './files/';

try {
  const files = fs.readdirSync(dir);
  console.log(files); // The object itself
  const filesJson = JSON.stringify(files);
  console.log(filesJson); // As a JSON string
} catch (err) {
    console.log(err);
}
