What is touch?

The 'touch' npm package is used to create and update the access and modification times of files, similar to the Unix touch command.

What are touch's main functionalities?

Create a new file

This feature allows you to create a new file named 'newfile.txt'. If the file already exists, it updates the access and modification times.

const touch = require('touch');
touch('newfile.txt', function(err) {
  if (err) throw err;
  console.log('File created');
});

Update access and modification times

This feature updates the access and modification times of an existing file named 'existingfile.txt' to the current date and time.

const touch = require('touch');
touch('existingfile.txt', { time: new Date() }, function(err) {
  if (err) throw err;
  console.log('Timestamps updated');
});

Force create a file

This feature forces the creation of a file named 'forcefile.txt' even if the parent directory does not exist.

const touch = require('touch');
touch('forcefile.txt', { force: true }, function(err) {
  if (err) throw err;
  console.log('File created or updated with force');
});
