How do you upload a directory using the javascript SDK

Question

I'm trying to upload a directory that contains subdirectories and files to an S3 bucket. I'm using the javascript SDK. It's what my company uses, I cannot use another language. This functionality is supported in [.Net](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonS3/latest/userguide/HLuploadDirDotNet.html) and [Java](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonS3/latest/userguide/example_s3_UploadDirectoryToBucket_section.html). I cannot locate any guide for this in javascript. I'm wondering if it's supported. If it's not what's the best way around this, will this ever get supported?

Have you tried using the JS example listed here? https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonS3/latest/userguide/example_s3_PutObject_section.html.

* for each file in the directory
* get the full path of the file
* Upload with the prefix

You can also try https://awscli.amazonaws.com/v2/documentation/api/latest/reference/s3/sync.html.

Try giving this a go. Recursively iterating through the directories and files in JavaScript.

Here you can find an example code snippet demonstrating the recursive directory upload process using the AWS SDK for JavaScript modules workaround [ 1 ].
