jquery - How to create an array from files in a folder? -

arr01 =[ "01.png", "02.png", "03.png", "04.png", "05.png"...]; arr02 =[ "01.png", "02.png", "03.png", "04.png"...]; arr03 =[ "01.png", "02.png", "03.png", "04.png"...]; 

these images files in folders named 01, 02, 03...

i need create arrays managing images in slider.

is possible telling: give me file names in folder 01, , create array them ?

it needs done server-side, i'd suggest writing small service returns json structure representative of want display. it's not hard write recursive algorithm that'll convert directory tree json tree. advantage instead of having arr01, arr02,, etc. you'll have this:

{   root: '/media',   items: [     'image.png',     'image2.png',     'vacation': [        'image3.png',        //you idea     ]   ] } 

that'll lot easier work on client side generates lot of different variables. use server-side code generation point of json.

edit: reason use json , ajax here using jsp generate javascript takes time better spent showing user sort of loading message while server fetches additional data. you'll find true of lot of "enterprise apps" heavy on generating html's full contents on server-side. having service layer handle tasks database lookups , subsequent conversion of data json, you'll save more server side resources doing of html generation on server.
