NodeJS Read File Name is Japanese Characters - node.js

I have a file name is momo1.json. I can read them in Nodejs
var fs = require('fs');
var jsonWelcome = fs.readFileSync(WELCOME_JSON, UTF8_FORMAT);
var dataWelcome = JSON.parse(jsonWelcome);
But now i change file name is ももたろう.json. I cant read file anymore, tell my why and solutions i can read file name by japanese charaters

Try to use require() instead:
var dataWelcome = require("./ももたろう.json");
//output the data to see if it works
console.log(JSON.stringify(dataWelcome));

Read all JSON files contained in a dynamically updated folder

I've got multiple json files contained within a directory that will dynamically be updated by users. The users can add categories which will create new json files in that directory, and they can also remove categories which would delete json files in that directory. I'm looking for a method to read all json files contained in that folder directory, and push all the json files into a single object array. I imagine asynchronously would be desirable too.
I'm very new to using fs. I've management to read single json files by directory using
const fs = require('fs');
let data = fs.readFileSync('./sw_lbi/categories/category1.json');
let categories = JSON.parse(data);
console.log(categories);
But of course this will only solve the synchronous issue when using require()
As I'll have no idea what json files will be contained in the directory because the users will also name them, I'll need a way to read all the json files by simply calling the folder directory which contains them.
I'm imagining something like this (which obviously is foolish)
const fs = require('fs');
let data = fs.readFileSync('./sw_lbi/categories');
let categories = JSON.parse(data);
console.log(categories);
What would be the best approach to achieve this?
Thanks in advance.
First of all you need to scan this directory for files, next you need to filter them and select only JSONs, and at the end just read every file and do what you need to do
const fs = require('fs');
const path = require('path')
const jsonsInDir = fs.readdirSync('./sw_lbi/categories').filter(file => path.extname(file) === '.json');
jsonsInDir.forEach(file => {
const fileData = fs.readFileSync(path.join('./sw_lbi/categories', file));
const json = JSON.parse(fileData.toString());
});

Encoding issue with reading markdown files on Github

When I load a markdown file from GitHub I am running into a lot of errors. I think I am not using the right encoding for GitHub files through Octokit. Any suggestions on how to fix my Buffer code in Node.js?
Is base64 and then to ascii correct for Github content? It works fine when loading it directly in my project without GitHub. I have a feeling GitHub stores their files in a different format but can't find docs on it.
const repos = await octokit.repos.getContents({
owner: 'owner-hidden',
repo: 'repo-hidden'
path: '/dinner.md
});
// repo loads with data.content just fine
const bufferedData = Buffer.from(repos.data.content, 'base64').toString('ascii');
const ymlData = YAML.parse(bufferedData); ## issue with reading this
The error is below, but the error doesn't necessarily matter because it works when I load it directly in my project there are no errors.
YAMLException: the stream contains non-printable characters at line 36, column 126:
... auteLed spinach and ratatouille
^
Loading the markdown file directly in my project there was no errors:
const fs = require('fs');
const path2 = require('path');
const file = path2.resolve(__dirname, '/dinner.md');
const content = fs.readFileSync(file);
const bufferedData = Buffer.from(content).toString('ascii');
console.log({bufferedData});
As one of the members of Octokit replied to me on my Github issue, I don't need to encode with ascii, I should be using uft8 as shown here:
- const bufferedData = Buffer.from(repos.data.content, 'base64').toString('ascii')
- const bufferedData = Buffer.from(repos.data.content, 'base64').toString()
buffer.toString() defaults to utf8 which is what I want.

Link to reading, editing and saving INI files in node js

I tried searching for an entire day. Either i am blind or there is no specific answer to my question. How do i do it? I'm developing a steam bot in node js and i want to load accounts - username, pass etc.. of couple of accounts from .ini file. After a long time searching i only found how to read from an .ini file using node-ini module.
var ini = require('node-ini');
ini.parse('./config.ini', function(err,data){
console.log( data.Admin.pass ); //working.
data.Admin.pass = '1136'; //not working how to change value in ini.
data.Admin.H = 'test'; //not working as well.
});
This library (https://github.com/npm/ini) is a good option to do what you are looking to achieve.
Checkout this example from the docs:
var fs = require('fs')
, ini = require('ini')
var config = ini.parse(fs.readFileSync('./config.ini', 'utf-8'))
config.scope = 'local'
config.database.database = 'use_another_database'
config.paths.default.tmpdir = '/tmp'
delete config.paths.default.datadir
config.paths.default.array.push('fourth value')
fs.writeFileSync('./config_modified.ini', ini.stringify(config, { section: 'section' }))

Parse.com Node js failed to load json file

I'm trying to read a json file using node js/ express and deploying it to parseCloud but i keep getting
*Failed to load filters.json with: Could not find file filters.json *
here is my code:
var fs = require('fs');
var obj = JSON.parse(fs.readFileSync('cloud/filters.json', 'utf8'));
or this
var filterJson = require('cloud/filters.json');
thanks
Looks like parse.com doesn't allow .json files. You can save your file as .js and load it as plain text file (doesn't work with require()).
var fs = require('fs');
var parsedObject = JSON.parse(fs.readFileSync('cloud/path/json_file.js'));
It looks ugly, but works for me. :)
Try to add ./
fs.readFileSync('./cloud/filters.json', 'utf8')

is it possible to configure content in the html file when using requirejs optimizer?

I see it is possible to get the contents of the js files using onBuildWrite but I am needing a way to inject values into our root html page, is this possible? EG we would like to swap out our less file for a css version.
It's possible with node.js:
var fs = require('fs');
// read html file
var fileContents = fs.readFileSync('index.html', 'utf8');
// replace rel attribute for less file with rel for css
fileContents = fileContents.replace(/stylesheet\/less/gi, 'stylesheet');
// replace file name
fileContents = fileContents.replace(/css\/application.less/gi, 'css/application.css');
// remove less runtime compiler (if needed)
fileContents = fileContents.replace(/<script.*?\bless\b[^"']*?\.js.*?<\/script>/g, '');
// write file back
fs.writeFileSync('index.html', fileContents, 'utf8');
Just add that as a part of your build script, along with calling r.js.
