Advanced tools
@zkochan/rimraf is an npm package that provides a fast and efficient way to delete files and directories, including those that are read-only. It is a modern alternative to the traditional 'rimraf' package, offering better performance and additional features.
Delete a single file
This feature allows you to delete a single file. The callback function handles any errors that may occur during the deletion process.
const rimraf = require('@zkochan/rimraf');
rimraf('path/to/file.txt', (err) => {
if (err) throw err;
console.log('File deleted successfully');
});
Delete a directory and its contents
This feature allows you to delete a directory along with all its contents. The callback function handles any errors that may occur during the deletion process.
const rimraf = require('@zkochan/rimraf');
rimraf('path/to/directory', (err) => {
if (err) throw err;
console.log('Directory deleted successfully');
});
Delete read-only files and directories
This feature allows you to delete read-only files and directories. The 'glob' option is set to false to disable glob pattern matching.
const rimraf = require('@zkochan/rimraf');
rimraf('path/to/read-only-file-or-directory', { glob: false }, (err) => {
if (err) throw err;
console.log('Read-only file or directory deleted successfully');
});
