fsensure

fsensure

Ensure directories and files exists or are removed in Node.js.

Install

Using npm:

npm install fsensure

##Examples

Create directories recursively like mkdir -p:

var fsensure = require('fsensure');

fsensure.dir.exists('/tmp/foo/bar/baz', function (err) {
    if (err) { console.error(err); return; }
    console.log('/tmp/foo/bar/baz now exists');
});

Move files around and automatically create the required directories:

var fsensure = require('fsensure');

fsensure.file.move('/tmp/info.txt', '/tmp/archive/info.md', function (err) {
    if (err) { console.error(err); return; }
    console.log('/tmp/info.txt moved to /tmp/archive/info.md');
});

Methods

dir.exists(path, [mode], callback)

Ensure that directory exists. If directory does not exist, try to create the directory in path. Understand the path as a path to directory.

dir.existsSync(path, [mode])

Sync version of fsensure.dir.exists.

file.move(source, target, callback)

Alias of fsensure.file.rename.

file.rename(source, target, callback)

First ensures that the directories of the target filepath exists, creates the directories then renames the file.

file.dir.exists(filepath, callback)

Ensures that the directories of filepath exist. Difference to dir.exists is that here filepath is understood as path to a non-directory file.

file.copy(source, target, callback)

Ensure that target path exists and copy the file.

file.remove(target, callback)

Alias of fsensure.file.unlink

file.unlink(target, callback)

Ensure that target file is removed. Remove the file if possible.
