how to use the ensuredir function from fs-extra in javascript

To use the ensureDir() function from fs-extra in JavaScript, you can follow these steps:

  1. First, you need to install the fs-extra module. You can install it via npm by running the following command:

    index.tsx
    npm install fs-extra

    2 lines
  2. Once you have installed the fs-extra module, you can import it in your JavaScript file as follows:

    index.tsx
    const fs = require('fs-extra');
    
    32 chars
    2 lines
  3. Now you can use the ensureDir() function to create a directory and its parent directories if they don't exist. Here's an example:

    index.tsx
    const directoryPath = '/path/to/my/directory';
    
    fs.ensureDir(directoryPath, err => {
      if (err) {
        console.error(err);
      } else {
        console.log('Directory created successfully!');
      }
    });

    10 lines

    In this example, the ensureDir() function is used to create a directory at the specified path (/path/to/my/directory). If the directory and its parent directories don't exist, they will be created recursively. If the directory already exists, the function will do nothing.

    Note that the ensureDir() function is asynchronous and takes a callback function as its second parameter. The callback function is called when the directory creation is complete or when an error occurs.

That's it! This is how you can use the ensureDir() function from fs-extra to create directories in your Node.js application.
