Package description
The 'write' npm package is a simple utility for writing data to files. It provides a straightforward API for writing strings or buffers to a file, with options to specify encoding, mode, and flag. It's designed to make file writing tasks in Node.js applications easier and more efficient.
Write string to file
This feature allows you to write a string directly to a file. The example shows how to synchronously write 'Hello World' to 'file.txt'.
const write = require('write');
write.sync('file.txt', 'Hello World');Write buffer to file
This feature enables writing buffer data to a file. The code sample demonstrates writing a buffer containing 'Hello World' to 'file.txt'.
const write = require('write');
const buffer = Buffer.from('Hello World', 'utf8');
write.sync('file.txt', buffer);Write string to file asynchronously
This feature supports asynchronous file writing. The example illustrates how to write 'Hello World' to 'file.txt' and log a message upon completion.
const write = require('write');
write('file.txt', 'Hello World').then(() => console.log('Write complete')).catch(console.error);fs-extra is a package that builds on the Node.js fs module, providing additional methods not found in the standard library. It includes file writing capabilities similar to 'write', but also offers a wide range of file system operations, making it more versatile.
write-file-atomic is similar to 'write' in that it focuses on writing files, but it adds atomic writing capabilities. This means it writes to a temporary file before renaming it to the target filename, which can prevent data corruption in case of a write failure.
Readme
Write files to disk, creating intermediate directories if they don't exist.
Install with npm
