trash

Cross-platform command-line app to move files and directories to the trash - A safer alternative to rm

Works on OS X, Linux and Windows.

CLI

$ npm install --global trash

$ trash --help

Usage
  $ trash <path> [<path> ...]

Globbing support is left up to your shell, but $ trash *.png should expand to the above in most shells.

var trash = require('trash');

trash(['unicorn.png', 'rainbow.png'], function (err) {
	if (err) {
		throw err;
	}

	console.log('done');
});

Info

On OS X AppleScript is used as it's the only way to support built-in features such as Put back.

On Linux trash-cli is used. Requires Python. Help wanted on a Node version.

On Windows cmdutils is used.
