fs.extra
Extra file utilities for node.js
Includes
copy
copyRecursive
mkdirp
move
walk
rmrf
Install
npm install --save fs.extra
Usage
// this will have all of a copy of the normal fs methods as well
var fs = require('fs.extra');
fs.copy
Creates an fs.readStream
and fs.writeStream
and uses util.pump
to efficiently copy.
fs.copy('foo.txt', 'bar.txt', { replace: false }, function (err) {
if (err) {
// i.e. file already exists or can't write to directory
throw err;
}
console.log("Copied 'foo.txt' to 'bar.txt');
});
Options are optional. replace
defaults to false, but will replace existing files if set to true
.
fs.copyRecursive
Basically a local rsync
, uses fs.copy
to recursively copy files and folders (with correct permissions).
fs.copyRecursive('./foo', './bar', function (err) {
if (err) {
throw err;
}
console.log("Copied './foo' to './bar');
});
fs.mkdirRecursive
Included from https://github.com/substack/node-mkdirp
// fs.mkdirp(path, mode=(0777 & (~process.umask())), cb);
fs.mkdirp('/tmp/foo/bar/baz', function (err) {
if (err) {
console.error(err);
} else {
console.log('pow!')
}
});
fs.mkdirRecursiveSync
Included from https://github.com/substack/node-mkdirp
// fs.mkdirpSync(path, mode=(0777 & (~process.umask())));
try {
fs.mkdirpSync('/tmp/foo/bar/baz');
} catch(e) {
throw e;
}
fs.move
Attempts fs.rename
, then tries fs.copy
+ fs.unlink
before failing.
fs.move('foo.txt', 'bar.txt', function (err) {
if (err) {
throw err;
}
console.log("Moved 'foo.txt' to 'bar.txt');
});
fs.rmRecursive
Included from https://github.com/jprichardson/node-fs-extra
Recursively deletes a directory (like rm -rf
)
// fs.rmrf(dir, callback);
fs.rmrf('/choose/me/carefully/', function (err) {
if (err) {
console.error(err);
}
});
fs.rmRecursiveSync
Included from https://github.com/jprichardson/node-fs-extra
Recursively deletes a directory (like rm -rf
)
// fs.rmrfSync(dir);
fs.rmrfSync('/choose/me/carefully/');
fs.walk
See https://github.com/coolaj86/node-walk
var walker = fs.walk(dir)
;
// file, files, directory, directories
walker.on("file", function (root, stat, next) {
var filepath = path.join(root, stat.name)
;
console.log(filepath);
});
Aliases and Backwards Compatibility
For the sake of backwards compatability, you can call the recursive functions with their names as such
fs.remove <- fs.rmRecursive <- fs.rmrf
fs.removeSync <- fs.rmRecursiveSync <- fs.rmrfSync
fs.mkdirRecursive <- fs.mkdirp
fs.mkdirRecursiveSync <- fs.mkdirpSync
