diskspace.js
This is a simple module for Node.js to check disk space usages in bytes.
This also depends on a console application for Windows called DriveSpace written in C# and requires .NET Framework 3.5 when using this on a Windows system. This included in the NPM package, but you can look at the DriveSpace code also if you wish.
Setup
To set up diskspace.js on your Node.js server use npm.
npm install diskspace
Example Usage
var diskspace = require('diskspace');
diskspace.check('C', function (total, free, status)
{
Your code here
});
On Windows you change C to the drive letter you want to check. On Linux you use the mount path eg /
.
total
is how much the drive has totally.
free
is how much free space you have.
status
isn't really that useful unless you want to debug.
Status codes:
NOTFOUND
- Disk was not found, the space values will be 0READY
- The drive is readyNOTREADY
- The drive isn't ready, the space values will be 0STDERR
- some error, the output of it was logged to the console.
