| # @npmcli/fs |
|
|
| polyfills, and extensions, of the core `fs` module. |
|
|
| ## Features |
|
|
| - all exposed functions return promises |
| - `fs.rm` polyfill for node versions < 14.14.0 |
| - `fs.mkdir` polyfill adding support for the `recursive` and `force` options in node versions < 10.12.0 |
| - `fs.copyFile` extended to accept an `owner` option |
| - `fs.mkdir` extended to accept an `owner` option |
| - `fs.mkdtemp` extended to accept an `owner` option |
| - `fs.writeFile` extended to accept an `owner` option |
| - `fs.withTempDir` added |
| - `fs.cp` polyfill for node < 16.7.0 |
|
|
| ## The `owner` option |
|
|
| The `copyFile`, `mkdir`, `mkdtemp`, `writeFile`, and `withTempDir` functions |
| all accept a new `owner` property in their options. It can be used in two ways: |
|
|
| - `{ owner: { uid: 100, gid: 100 } }` - set the `uid` and `gid` explicitly |
| - `{ owner: 100 }` - use one value, will set both `uid` and `gid` the same |
|
|
| The special string `'inherit'` may be passed instead of a number, which will |
| cause this module to automatically determine the correct `uid` and/or `gid` |
| from the nearest existing parent directory of the target. |
|
|
| ## `fs.withTempDir(root, fn, options) -> Promise` |
|
|
| ### Parameters |
|
|
| - `root`: the directory in which to create the temporary directory |
| - `fn`: a function that will be called with the path to the temporary directory |
| - `options` |
| - `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`. |
|
|
| ```js |
| 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() |
| ``` |
