Is it ok if we do not use crypto?

I might not fully understand what you are saying but if I am i believe that function that's inside the readfile already iterates through the files so the content that's passed in to that function is for each file in the directory, you don't need a for loop inside the function if I understand your post properly.

This was my thinking for that part:

I created the object and in the readFiles() method you have the option to pass in a filename parameter.

So you end up with something like this:
Assume dir = require(node-dir);
Assume directory = directory you got from the user;

dir.readFiles(directory, (err, content, filename, next) =>{

    from here all you need to do is use the filename and the content to make the hashes and add that to the object
};

Ok Thank you! I believe I understand that. What's the "Assume" Syntax?

So I must be doing something wrong because its not adding the information I'm passing to the object

let files = {}      <---- global variable

in my dir.readFiles() method {

        console.log('hashKey of ' + filename + ' is: ', hashKey);     <--- this prints out 

        Object.assign(files, {hashKey: filename})            < --- this does nothing 

}

I'm sure something is wrong with my syntax but not sure what.  Thanks.

Try using shorthand object notation:

files[filename] = hashkey;

then after readFiles just do:

console.log(files) to make sure everything is stored correctly

Thanks I appreciate the help but for some reason its not adding it to the 'files' object.
