What is rw?

The 'rw' npm package is a utility library for reading and writing files in Node.js. It provides simple and efficient methods for handling both synchronous and asynchronous file operations, making it easier to work with the file system in Node.js applications.

What are rw's main functionalities?

Reading files synchronously

This feature allows you to read files synchronously. The method 'readFileSync' reads the entire content of the file at the specified path and returns it. This is useful when you need to load file data immediately before proceeding with the rest of your code.

const rw = require('rw');
const data = rw.readFileSync('/path/to/file.txt', 'utf8');
console.log(data);

Writing files synchronously

This feature enables you to write data to a file synchronously. The method 'writeFileSync' writes the specified content to the file at the given path. This is useful for saving data immediately and ensuring that the file write operation completes before moving on in your code.

const rw = require('rw');
rw.writeFileSync('/path/to/file.txt', 'Hello, world!', 'utf8');

Reading files asynchronously

This feature allows you to read files asynchronously. The method 'readFile' reads the file content at the specified path and then executes a callback function with the read data. This is beneficial for non-blocking file operations in Node.js applications.

const rw = require('rw');
rw.readFile('/path/to/file.txt', 'utf8', function(err, data) {
  if (err) throw err;
  console.log(data);
});

Writing files asynchronously

This feature enables you to write data to a file asynchronously. The method 'writeFile' writes the specified content to the file at the given path and then executes a callback function once the write operation is complete. This helps in performing non-blocking file writes.

const rw = require('rw');
rw.writeFile('/path/to/file.txt', 'Hello, async world!', 'utf8', function(err) {
  if (err) throw err;
  console.log('File has been written');
});
