What is temp?

The 'temp' npm package is designed to handle temporary files and directories in a Node.js environment. It provides utilities to create, manage, and clean up temporary files and directories, ensuring that they are properly removed when no longer needed.

What are temp's main functionalities?

Creating a Temporary File

This feature allows you to create a temporary file with a specified prefix. The callback provides information about the file, including its path and file descriptor.

const temp = require('temp');
temp.open('myprefix', function(err, info) {
  if (!err) {
    console.log('File: ', info.path);
    console.log('File descriptor: ', info.fd);
  }
});

Creating a Temporary Directory

This feature allows you to create a temporary directory with a specified prefix. The callback provides the path to the created directory.

const temp = require('temp');
temp.mkdir('myprefix', function(err, dirPath) {
  if (!err) {
    console.log('Directory: ', dirPath);
  }
});

Automatic Cleanup

This feature enables automatic cleanup of temporary files and directories when the process exits. By calling `temp.track()`, you ensure that all temporary files and directories are removed when they are no longer needed.

const temp = require('temp');
temp.track();
temp.open('myprefix', function(err, info) {
  if (!err) {
    console.log('File: ', info.path);
    console.log('File descriptor: ', info.fd);
  }
});
