Advanced tools
Generate a random path name.
npm install --save random-path
const os = require('os')
const randomPath = require('random-path')
const path = randomPath(os.tmpDir(), '%s.txt')
console.log(path)
//=> /tmp/Y374CW8.txt
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.
