files ls -l -r would be really nice to have

It would be a great enhancement to have a recursive capability for files ls [-l]
This would avoid having to call the server repeatedly.
Interestingly, there is a files rm -r
Thank you for this great library.
Pat.

@whyrusleeping thoughts?

Files.ls doesn't seem to be implemented to begin with or am I misunderstanding? https://github.com/ipfs/interface-ipfs-core/blob/master/SPEC/FILES.md

Or you're only talking about the CLI? (which might have it, idk)

Haha, didn't even read the link I sent. Ls is there now <3. FYI it isn't in the index in the readme.

js-ipfs is being deprecated in favor of Helia. You can #4336 and read the migration guide.

Please feel to reopen with any comments by 2023-06-02. We will do a final pass on reopened issues afterward (see #4336).

I believe this, or similar via different methods, should be possible in Helia.
