Introducing the Socket Python SDK
The initial version of the Socket Python SDK is now on PyPI, enabling developers to more easily interact with the Socket REST API in Python projects.
@types/rimraf
Advanced tools
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.
