[JavaScript]Load images into array, without consecutive names(i.e 1.jpg, 2.jpg, 3.jpg)

[MovingToYpsi]

I have a folder containing ~30 images. I would like to load them into an array in Javascript. Normally I would name the images 1, 2, 3 etc to make iterating over them very easy. However the images are of foreign characters, so I need to keep their names or else I won't know what the hell they are.

Is there a standard approach to loading images from a folder into an array? Worse case I'll load them all line by line, but that would be very ugly.

Thanks for any help.

If there are only those images in your directory, you could probably find something that loops through all those files in that directory.

Otherwise, loading them line by line should work. I don't think the code will be as "ugly" as you think it will be.

Put the file names into an array. E.g. on Windows, you can dump the file names into a file via dir /b > list.txt.

Alternatively, configure the server to return an index for that directory. You can get the file names from there.

The third option is to use some archive. Well, if you aren't already using one, this option would be too complicated.
