NodeJS - Find a given file by name and ext regardless of location, from inside a working directory (Closed)

Question

How do I search for a specific file by name and extension in a working directory, regardless of the file's path from inside that working directory?

For example, if we are searching for foo.txt inside our first working directory, but it's located within a file path like the example below

workDir/folder2/is/foo/directory/foo.txt

Then say for further example, we want to then search for foo.txt inside our second working directory, but the file is located within a different file path like below

workDir/folder11/this/way/to/foo.txt

How would I find foo.txt regardless of the file's path, inside a working directory?

I am Using the below JavaScript code in my NodeJS project's controller.js file to try and achieve this.

NOTE: In real-time, every working directory this would be used on, would be named differently

controller.js

var fooPath = GetFooPath(data, path.join(workDir, "folder11/"));
            if (fooPath == -1) {
                console.log("Cannot find the foo file!");
                return;
            }

You could use globbing

glob("absolute/path/to/workDir/**/*.txt", options, 
    function (error, files) {
   // files is an array of filenames.
   // If the `nonull` option is set, and nothing
   // was found, then files is ["**/*.js"]
   // error is an error object or null.
 })

NPM glob
