Motivation
I was working on my personal project and using Tokio as my runtime. I needed to walk through directories recursively, find files, and perform other tasks. I struggled a lot to accomplish this with Tokio, which made me wonder why there is no walk function in Tokio's file system module. It seems like a lightweight and useful feature to have.
Python, for instance, has os.walk in its standard library.
Solution
With all that said, I added the
walk_dir()
function totokio::fs
to make it easier for others to search over files recursivelyusing Tokio.
If there is any type of problem in this pull request. Just let me know.
