## Traversing Local Files ## Traversing Local Files
Hugo includes a way to traverse local files. Using Hugo's function `readDir`,
This is done using the 'readDir' function. you can traverse your web site's files on your server.
## Using _readDir_
## Using readDir The `readDir` function returns an array
of [`os.FileInfo`](https://golang.org/pkg/os/#FileInfo).
It takes a single, string argument: a path.
This path can be to any directory of your web site
(as found on your server's filesystem).
readDir takes a single string input that is relative to the root directory of the site. It returns an array of [os.FileInfo](https://golang.org/pkg/os/#FileInfo) Whether the path is absolute or relative makes no difference,
because—at least for `readDir`—the root of your web site (typically `./public/`)
in effect becomes both:
Let's create a shortcode to build a file index with links using readDir. 1. The filesystem root; and
1. The current working directory.
'fileindex.html' ## New Shortcode
<table style="width=100%"> So, let's create a new shortcode using `readDir`:
<th>Size in bytes</th>
<th>Name</th>
{{$dir := .Get "dir"}}
{{ $url := .Get "baseurl" }}
{{ $files := readDir $dir }} **layouts/shortcodes/directoryindex.html**
{{ range $files }} ```html
<tr> {{< readfile "layouts/shortcodes/directoryindex.html" >}}
<td>{{.Size}}</td> ```
<td> For the files in any given directory,
<a href="{{$url}}{{.Name | urlize }}"> {{.Name}}</a> this shortcode usefully lists their basenames and sizes,
</td> while providing links to them.
</tr>
{{ end }}
</table>
Now lets use it to list the css files used on this site Already&mdash;actually&mdash;this shortcode
has been included in this very web site.
{{</* fileindex dir="static/css" baseurl="/css/" */>}} So, let's list some of its CSS files.
(If you click on their names, you can reveal the contents.)
Is rendered as: {{< directoryindex path="/static/css" pathURL="/css" >}}
<br />
{{< fileindex dir="static/css/" baseurl="/css/">}} This is the call that rendered the above output:
```html
{{</* directoryindex path="/static/css" pathURL="/css" */>}}
```
By the way,
regarding the pathURL argument, the initial slash `/` is important.
Otherwise, it becomes relative to the current web page.
