The Unpaid Backbone of Open Source: Solo Maintainers Face Increasing Security Demands
Solo open source maintainers face burnout and security challenges, with 60% unpaid and 60% considering quitting.
For quickly emptying a directory. Good for clearing out dist
before rebuilding.
This package is for when you just want a directory to be empty as soon as possible.
First it moves all the directory's children into a temp directory (adjacent to the original directory) – this is a fast, non-recursive operation. Then it calls your callback. Then it spawns a new process to recursively delete the temp directory in the background. Finally it calls your second callback, if provided.
var clearDir = require('clear-dir');
clearDir(dir, clearedCallback, finalCallback);
dir
– the directory to emptyclearedCallback
– function to be run when the contents have been cleared out of the directoryfinalCallback
(optional) – function to be run when the contents have been deleted from the temp locationIf the dir
doesn't exist, it will be created (and then both your callbacks fired). This might sound weird, but the point of clearDest
is to guarantee an empty folder that you can use immediately, so that's what it does.
