ESLint is Now Language-Agnostic: Linting JSON, Markdown, and Beyond
ESLint has added JSON and Markdown linting support with new officially-supported plugins, expanding its versatility beyond JavaScript.
Move files and folders to the trash
Works on macOS (10.12+), Linux, and Windows (8+).
Note: The Linux implementation is not very good and not maintained. Help welcome. If no one steps up to help maintain it, I will eventually remove Linux support.
In contrast to fs.unlink
, del
, and rimraf
which permanently delete files, this only moves them to the trash, which is much safer and reversible.
$ npm install trash
const trash = require('trash');
(async () => {
await trash(['*.png', '!rainbow.png']);
})();
Returns a Promise
.
Type: string | string[]
Accepts paths and glob patterns.
Type: object
Type: boolean
Default: true
Enable globbing when matching file paths.
To install the trash
command, run:
$ npm install --global trash-cli
On macOS, macos-trash
is used.
On Linux, the XDG spec is followed.
On Windows, recycle-bin
is used.
mv
Not really. The mv
command isn't cross-platform and moving to trash is not just about moving the file to a "trash" directory. On all OSes you'll run into file conflicts. The user won't easily be able to restore the file. It won't work on an external drive. The trash directory location varies between Windows versions. For Linux, there's a whole spec you need to follow. On macOS, you'll lose the Put back feature.
