@universal-packages/fs-utils
Advanced tools
Extended functionality for fs, when you need to know something in disk exists or want to ensure it exists.
npm install @universal-packages/fs-utils
checkDirectory(location: String)
Checks if a string is a valid path to a directory and expands it.
import { checkDirectory } from '@universal-packages/fs-utils'
const finalPath = checkDirectory('./src')
console.log(finalPath)
// > /Users/david/project/src
Any other case is thrown as an error.
import { checkDirectory } from '@universal-packages/fs-utils'
try {
const finalPath = checkDirectory('./src/fake')
} catch (error) {
console.log(error)
}
// > Error "/Users/david/project/src/fake" does not exists
// > Error "/Users/david/project/src/fake" is not a directory or can not be accessed
checkFile(location: String)
Checks if a string is a valid path to a file and expands it.
import { checkFile } from '@universal-packages/fs-utils'
const finalPath = checkFile('./src/README.md')
console.log(finalPath)
// > /Users/david/project/src/README.md
Any other case is thrown as an error.
import { checkFile } from '@universal-packages/fs-utils'
try {
const finalPath = checkFile('./src/NOT.md')
} catch (error) {
console.log(error)
}
// > Error "/Users/david/project/src/NOT.md" does not exists
// > Error "/Users/david/project/src/NOT.md" is not a file or can not be accessed
ensureDirectory(location: String)
Checks and expand a path and tries to create the directory if the check fails.
import { ensureDirectory } from '@universal-packages/fs-utils'
const finalPath = ensureDirectory('./src/tmp')
console.log(finalPath)
// > /Users/david/project/src/tmp
Any other case is thrown as an error.
import { ensureDirectory } from '@universal-packages/fs-utils'
try {
const finalPath = ensureDirectory('/new')
} catch (error) {
console.log(error)
}
// > Error Directory "/new" is an invalid path or greater permisons are reaquired
ensureFile(location: String)
Checks and expand a path and tries to create an empty file if the check fails
import { ensureFile } from '@universal-packages/fs-utils'
const finalPath = ensureFile('./src/tmp/development.log')
console.log(finalPath)
// > /Users/david/project/src/tmp/development.log
Any other case is thrown as an error.
import { ensureFile } from '@universal-packages/fs-utils'
try {
const finalPath = ensureFile('/file.rb')
} catch (error) {
console.log(error)
}
// > Error File location "/file.rb" is an invalid path or greater permisons are reaquired
expandPath(location: String)
Tries to expand a path by resolving the tilde and resolving to an absolute path.
import { expandPath } from '@universal-packages/fs-utils'
console.log(expandPath('./src/tmp'))
console.log(expandPath('~/directory'))
// > /Users/david/directory
