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.
Check if a directory is empty.
Note that directories with .DS_Store
on mac are considered empty.
const emptyDir = require('empty-dir');
emptyDir('./', function (err, result) {
if (err) {
console.error(err);
} else {
console.log('Directory is empty:', result);
}
});
var result = emptyDir.sync('./test/empty');
console.log('Directory is empty:', result);
Filter function
Both async and sync take a filter function as the second argument.
(This gives you the ability to eliminate files like .DS_Store
on mac, or Thumbs.db
on windows from causing the result to be "not empty" (.DS_Store
is already filtered by default).)
const emptyDir = require('empty-dir');
function filter(filepath) {
return !/Thumbs\.db$/i.test(filepath);
}
emptyDir('./', filter, function (err, result) {
if (err) {
console.error(err);
} else {
console.log('Directory is empty:', result);
}
});
var result = emptyDir.sync('./test/empty', filter);
console.log('Directory is empty:', result);
