What is mkdirp-classic?
The mkdirp-classic npm package is a utility that allows you to create directories and subdirectories in a file system, similar to the `mkdir -p` command in Unix/Linux. It ensures that all directories in a specified path are created if they do not already exist, making it easier to set up a nested directory structure with a single command.
What are mkdirp-classic's main functionalities?
Create directories recursively
This feature allows you to create a nested directory structure. If any part of the specified path does not exist, mkdirp-classic will create those directories for you. The example code demonstrates how to create a series of nested directories.
const mkdirp = require('mkdirp-classic');
mkdirp('/tmp/some/long/path', function (err) {
if (err) console.error(err)
else console.log('Directory created!')
});
