Upload entire directory tree to S3 using AWS sdk in node js

Question

I currently upload single objects to S3 using like so:

var options = {
        Bucket: bucket,
        Key: s3Path,
        Body: body,
        ACL: s3FilePermissions
};

S3.putObject(options,
function (err, data) {
    //console.log(data);
});

But when I have a large resources folder for example, I use the AWS CLI tool.
I was wondering, is there a native way to do the same thing with the aws sdk (upload entire folders to s3)?

Old-school recursive way I whipped up in a hurry. Only uses core node modules and standard AWS sdk.

var AWS = require('aws-sdk');
var path = require("path");
var fs = require('fs');

const uploadDir = function(s3Path, bucketName) {

    let s3 = new AWS.S3();

    function walkSync(currentDirPath, callback) {
        fs.readdirSync(currentDirPath).forEach(function (name) {
            var filePath = path.join(currentDirPath, name);
            var stat = fs.statSync(filePath);
            if (stat.isFile()) {
                callback(filePath, stat);
            } else if (stat.isDirectory()) {
                walkSync(filePath, callback);
            }
        });
    }

    walkSync(s3Path, function(filePath, stat) {
        let bucketPath = filePath.substring(s3Path.length+1);
        let params = {Bucket: bucketName, Key: bucketPath, Body: fs.readFileSync(filePath) };
        s3.putObject(params, function(err, data) {
            if (err) {
                console.log(err)
            } else {
                console.log('Successfully uploaded '+ bucketPath +' to ' + bucketName);
            }
        });

    });
};

uploadDir("path to your folder", "your bucket name");
