Stub TypeScript definitions entry for rimraf, which provides its own types definitions
The @types/rimraf package provides TypeScript type definitions for the rimraf npm package, which is a Node.js module for recursively removing files and directories in a way similar to the `rm -rf` command in Unix/Linux. These type definitions allow TypeScript developers to use rimraf in their projects with the benefits of TypeScript's static type checking.
Type-safe file and directory removal
This code demonstrates how to use rimraf with TypeScript to safely remove a directory. The @types/rimraf package provides the necessary type definitions for TypeScript to understand the arguments and callback structure of the rimraf function.
import rimraf from 'rimraf';
rimraf('/path/to/directory', (error) => {
if (error) {
console.error('Error removing directory:', error);
return;
}
console.log('Directory removed successfully');
});The del package is similar to rimraf but offers a promise-based API, making it more suitable for use in modern asynchronous JavaScript workflows. Unlike rimraf, which uses callbacks, del allows for cleaner code with async/await syntax.
fs-extra extends the Node.js built-in fs module, including the functionality to remove files and directories. It provides methods like `remove` and `emptyDir` which are similar to rimraf's functionality but within a broader file system manipulation library. fs-extra supports both callback and promise interfaces.
