sander

What is sander?

The sander npm package is a promise-based library for working with the filesystem. It provides a more modern and convenient API for file operations compared to the traditional Node.js fs module.

What are sander's main functionalities?

Reading Files

This feature allows you to read the contents of a file. The readFile method returns a promise that resolves with the file's contents.

const sander = require('sander');

sander.readFile('path/to/file.txt', { encoding: 'utf8' })
  .then(data => {
    console.log(data);
  })
  .catch(err => {
    console.error(err);
  });

Writing Files

This feature allows you to write data to a file. The writeFile method returns a promise that resolves when the file has been written.

const sander = require('sander');

sander.writeFile('path/to/file.txt', 'Hello, world!')
  .then(() => {
    console.log('File written successfully');
  })
  .catch(err => {
    console.error(err);
  });

Copying Files

This feature allows you to copy a file from one location to another. The copyFile method returns a promise that resolves when the file has been copied.

const sander = require('sander');

sander.copyFile('path/to/source.txt', 'path/to/destination.txt')
  .then(() => {
    console.log('File copied successfully');
  })
  .catch(err => {
    console.error(err);
  });

Deleting Files

This feature allows you to delete a file. The unlink method returns a promise that resolves when the file has been deleted.

const sander = require('sander');

sander.unlink('path/to/file.txt')
  .then(() => {
    console.log('File deleted successfully');
  })
  .catch(err => {
    console.error(err);
  });

Creating Directories

This feature allows you to create a new directory. The mkdir method returns a promise that resolves when the directory has been created.

const sander = require('sander');

sander.mkdir('path/to/directory')
  .then(() => {
    console.log('Directory created successfully');
  })
  .catch(err => {
    console.error(err);
  });

Other packages similar to sander

fs-extra

fs-extra is a popular package that extends the native fs module with additional methods and promises support. It provides similar functionalities to sander, such as reading, writing, copying, and deleting files, but also includes additional features like moving files and ensuring directories exist.

graceful-fs

graceful-fs is a drop-in replacement for the native fs module that improves handling of EMFILE errors (too many open files). While it doesn't add new methods, it makes the existing fs methods more reliable, especially in environments with high file I/O operations.

node-fs

node-fs is an older package that provides additional filesystem methods not available in the native fs module. It includes features like recursive directory creation and symbolic link support. However, it is less modern compared to sander and fs-extra.
