Express Directory View Middleware

library 1.0.5 ·javascript abandoned
verified May 27, 2026

This package provides an Express.js middleware designed to render a web-based directory listing, functioning similarly to traditional web server directory indexes (like Apache's `mod_autoindex`). It allows users to browse files and subdirectories within a specified `root` directory via a web interface. The current stable version, 1.0.5, was published in April 2017. Its development appears to have ceased, with the last commit on its GitHub repository also from April 2017, indicating an abandoned status. The middleware was likely intended for simple, visual directory browsing, but it is now significantly outdated. It lacks modern features, security hardening, comprehensive configuration options, and is not compatible with recent Node.js or Express.js versions. Due to its age and lack of maintenance, it is not recommended for new projects and poses significant security risks or compatibility issues.
