Random Path

Generate a random path name.

Installation

npm install --save random-path

Usage

const os = require('os')
const randomPath = require('random-path')

const path = randomPath(os.tmpDir(), '%s.txt')

console.log(path)
//=> /tmp/Y374CW8.txt

API

randomPath(directory, template)

Generates a random path name with the specified directory and template.

template should be a string where %s will be replaced with some random characters (e.g. 'linusu-%s'). The string should contain %s exactly once. If you want to include a literal percent sign, escape it with another one, e.g. '%%string' becomes '%string'.

Returns a string with the path.

Important: This module makes no guarantees on wether there exists a file at the returned path or not. Do not simply write data to the returned path. If you want a random file, use the higher level module fs-temp.

randomPath.validateTemplate(template)

Check to see if the template is a valid template accepted by randomPath. Throws an error if the template is invalid.
