I have this folder/directory 'x' in the public folder of my application. Now I have path name till the folder i.e., /path/to/dir/x , but I don't know the names of the files in this directory. Now I need to provide URL links to the files in the html a tag's href attribute.

How do I list the name of the files in this directory?

    AngularJS is client side(runs in browser) you have to do this in server side and get the information using $http Commented Apr 6, 2015 at 11:54

    Use Directory.GetFiles(path) method to list all the files and then in angular use ng-repeat and build a URL on the client. Commented Apr 6, 2015 at 14:36
  • Alternatively, you can use AJAX calls: stackoverflow.com/a/11213851/2220216 Commented Sep 7, 2015 at 16:59

Angular is a client side library. Getting files from file directories is a backend capability.

Welcome to StackOverflow! Thanks for this answer, but that's already been said in the first comment, so this doesn't add anything.
Wrong! We have now 2017. We are using angular in electron that is running locally on desktop. So using the file system is a valid question.
@SandorRozsa So is it possible?
