Make a directory and its parents if needed - Think
mkdir -p
Tip
You probably want the built-in fsPromises.mkdir('…', {recursive: true}) instead.
- Supports a custom
fsimplementation.
Advantages over mkdirp
- Promise API (Async/await ready!)
- Fixes many
mkdirpissues - CI-tested on macOS, Linux, and Windows
- Actively maintained
- Doesn't bundle a CLI
- Uses the native
fs.mkdir/mkdirSyncrecursiveoption in Node.js unless overridden
npm install make-dir$ pwd/Users/sindresorhus/fun
$ tree.import{makeDirectory}from'make-dir';constpath=awaitmakeDirectory('unicorn/rainbow/cake');console.log(path);//=> '/Users/sindresorhus/fun/unicorn/rainbow/cake'$ tree.└── unicorn └── rainbow └── cakeMultiple directories:
import{makeDirectory}from'make-dir';constpaths=awaitPromise.all([makeDirectory('unicorn/rainbow'),makeDirectory('foo/bar')]);console.log(paths);/*[ '/Users/sindresorhus/fun/unicorn/rainbow', '/Users/sindresorhus/fun/foo/bar']*/Returns a Promise for the path to the created directory.
Returns the path to the created directory.
Type: string | URL
The directory to create.
Type: object
Type: integer
Default: 0o777
The directory permissions.
Type: object
Default: import fs from 'node:fs'
Use a custom fs implementation. For example graceful-fs.
Using a custom fs implementation will block the use of the native recursive option if fs.mkdir or fs.mkdirSync is not the native function.
