delete

delete

Delete files and folders and any intermediate directories if they exist (sync and async).

Install

Install with npm:

$ npm install delete --save

Usage

var del = require('delete');

// async
del(['foo/*.js'], function(err) {
  if (err) throw err;
  console.log('done!');
});

// sync
del.sync(['foo/*.js']);

// promise
del.promise(['foo/*.js'])
  .then(function() {
    //=> do stuff
  });

Options

All methods take an options object as the second argument.

options.force

(The force option was inspired by grunt.)

An error is thrown if you try to delete files outside of the current working directory (cwd).

Override the default behavior:

del.sync('../foo.md', {force: true});
