What is mkdirp?

The mkdirp npm package is a utility module that allows you to create directories and all necessary subdirectories in a single command, similar to the 'mkdir -p' command in UNIX systems. It is useful for ensuring that a given directory path exists without manually checking and creating each level of the directory structure.

What are mkdirp's main functionalities?

Create a directory with subdirectories

This feature allows you to create a directory and any necessary parent directories. The function returns a promise that resolves to the first directory that had to be created, or null if all directories already existed.

const mkdirp = require('mkdirp');

mkdirp('/tmp/some/long/path').then(made => console.log(`Made directories: ${made}`));

Use with async/await

This feature demonstrates how mkdirp can be used with async/await syntax for cleaner, more readable asynchronous code.

const mkdirp = require('mkdirp');

(async () => {
  try {
    const made = await mkdirp('/tmp/some/long/path');
    console.log(`Made directories: ${made}`);
  } catch (e) {
    console.error(e);
  }
})();

Custom file mode (permissions)

This feature allows you to specify the file mode (permissions) when creating directories. The mode can be set so that the created directories have the desired permissions.

const mkdirp = require('mkdirp');

mkdirp('/tmp/some/long/path', { mode: 0o775 }).then(made => console.log(`Made directories with mode: ${made}`));
