installation

be in a nodejs project

npm install @magic/fs

import

import fs from '@magic/fs'

const run = async () => {
  await fs.mkdirp('./test_235235/dir/to/create')
  console.log('dir created')
  await fs.rmrf('./test_235235')
  console.log('dir deleted, even though it had contents.')
}
run()

promises

promises from fs:

access
copyFile
open
opendir
rename
truncate
rmdir
mkdir
readdir
readlink
symlink
lstat
stat
link
unlink
chmod
lchmod
lchown
chown
utimes
realpath
mkdtemp
writeFile
appendFile
readFile
exists
readDir
readfile
rmDir

export overloads:

// rmdir, rmDir
// readfile, readFile
// readdir, readDir

Additional functions:

mkdirp

same as mkdir -p on unix

await fs.mkdirp('./path/to/dir')

rmrf

same as rm -rf on unix.

will not work outside process.cwd()

await fs.rmrf('./path/to/dir')

exists

same as fs.exists, but promisified and ready for esmodules.

getDirectories

get a list of directories in a directory, recursively.

import fs from '@magic/fs'

const run = async () => {
  // first level directories
  const directories = await fs.getDirectories(process.cwd(), false)
  console.log(directories)

  // first level again
  const dirs = await fs.getDirectories(process.cwd(), { depth: false })

  // recursive run
  const deepDirectories = await fs.getDirectories(process.cwd())
  console.log(deepDirectories)

  // recursive run with specified depth
  const deepDirectoriesDepth2 = await fs.getDirectories(process.cwd(), { depth: 2 })
  console.log(deepDirectoriesDepth2)

  // use /some/dir as root instead of process.cwd()
  const deepDirWithRoot = await fs.getDirectories(process.cwd(), { depth: true, root: '/some/dir' })
  console.log(deepDirWithRoot)
}
run()

getFiles

get a list of files in a directory, recursively.

import fs from '@magic/fs'

const run = async () => {
  // first level directories
  const files = await fs.getFiles(process.cwd())
  console.log(files)

  // recursive run
  const deepFiles = await fs.getFiles(process.cwd(), { depth: true })
  console.log(deepFiles)

  // recursive run with specified depth,
  const deepFilesDepth2 = await fs.getFiles(process.cwd(), { depth: 2 })
  console.log(deepFilesDepth2)
}
run()

getFileType

get the file type of a file, based on extension, and defaulting to "txt"

import fs from '@magic/fs'

const fileType = fs.getFileType('html.html')
console.log(fileType, fileType === 'html')

const nonFileType = fs.getFileType()
console.log(nonFileType, nonFileType === 'txt')
