@npmcli/fs
polyfills, and extensions, of the core fs
module.
Features
fs.cp
polyfill for node < 16.7.0fs.withTempDir
addedfs.readdirScoped
addedfs.moveFile
added
fs.withTempDir(root, fn, options) -> Promise
Parameters
root
: the directory in which to create the temporary directoryfn
: a function that will be called with the path to the temporary directoryoptions
tmpPrefix
: a prefix to be used in the generated directory name
Usage
The withTempDir
function creates a temporary directory, runs the provided
function (fn
), then removes the temporary directory and resolves or rejects
based on the result of fn
.
const fs = require('@npmcli/fs')
const os = require('os')
// this function will be called with the full path to the temporary directory
// it is called with `await` behind the scenes, so can be async if desired.
const myFunction = async (tempPath) => {
return 'done!'
}
const main = async () => {
const result = await fs.withTempDir(os.tmpdir(), myFunction)
// result === 'done!'
}
main()
fs.readdirScoped(root) -> Promise
Parameters
root
: the directory to read
Usage
Like fs.readdir
but handling @org/module
dirs as if they were
a single entry.
const { readdirScoped } = require('@npmcli/fs')
const entries = await readdirScoped('node_modules')
// entries will be something like: ['a', '@org/foo', '@org/bar']
fs.moveFile(source, dest, options) -> Promise
A fork of move-file with support for Common JS.
Highlights
- Promise API.
- Supports moving a file across partitions and devices.
- Optionally prevent overwriting an existing file.
- Creates non-existent destination directories for you.
- Automatically recurses when source is a directory.
Parameters
source
: File, or directory, you want to move.dest
: Where you want the file or directory moved.options
overwrite
(boolean
, default:true
): Overwrite existing destination file(s).
Usage
The built-in
fs.rename()
is just a JavaScript wrapper for the C rename(2)
function, which doesn't
support moving files across partitions or devices. This module is what you
would have expected fs.rename()
to be.
const { moveFile } = require('@npmcli/fs');
(async () => {
await moveFile('source/unicorn.png', 'destination/unicorn.png');
console.log('The file has been moved');
})();
