- # mkdirp
- Like `mkdir -p`, but in Node.js!
- Now with a modern API and no\* bugs!
- <small>\* may contain some bugs</small>
- # example
- ## pow.js
- ```js
- // hybrid module, import or require() both work
- import { mkdirp } from 'mkdirp'
- // or:
- const { mkdirp } = require('mkdirp')
- // return value is a Promise resolving to the first directory created
- mkdirp('/tmp/foo/bar/baz').then(made =>
- console.log(`made directories, starting with ${made}`)
- )
- ```
- Output (where `/tmp/foo` already exists)
- ```
- made directories, starting with /tmp/foo/bar
- ```
- Or, if you don't have time to wait around for promises:
- ```js
- import { mkdirp } from 'mkdirp'
- // return value is the first directory created
- const made = mkdirp.sync('/tmp/foo/bar/baz')
- console.log(`made directories, starting with ${made}`)
- ```
- And now /tmp/foo/bar/baz exists, huzzah!
- # methods
- ```js
- import { mkdirp } from 'mkdirp'
- ```
- ## `mkdirp(dir: string, opts?: MkdirpOptions) => Promise<string | undefined>`
- Create a new directory and any necessary subdirectories at `dir`
- with octal permission string `opts.mode`. If `opts` is a string
- or number, it will be treated as the `opts.mode`.
- If `opts.mode` isn't specified, it defaults to `0o777`.
- Promise resolves to first directory `made` that had to be
- created, or `undefined` if everything already exists. Promise
- rejects if any errors are encountered. Note that, in the case of
- promise rejection, some directories _may_ have been created, as
- recursive directory creation is not an atomic operation.
- You can optionally pass in an alternate `fs` implementation by
- passing in `opts.fs`. Your implementation should have
- `opts.fs.mkdir(path, opts, cb)` and `opts.fs.stat(path, cb)`.
- You can also override just one or the other of `mkdir` and `stat`
- by passing in `opts.stat` or `opts.mkdir`, or providing an `fs`
- option that only overrides one of these.
- ## `mkdirp.sync(dir: string, opts: MkdirpOptions) => string|undefined`
- Synchronously create a new directory and any necessary
- subdirectories at `dir` with octal permission string `opts.mode`.
- If `opts` is a string or number, it will be treated as the
- `opts.mode`.
- If `opts.mode` isn't specified, it defaults to `0o777`.
- Returns the first directory that had to be created, or undefined
- if everything already exists.
- You can optionally pass in an alternate `fs` implementation by
- passing in `opts.fs`. Your implementation should have
- `opts.fs.mkdirSync(path, mode)` and `opts.fs.statSync(path)`.
- You can also override just one or the other of `mkdirSync` and
- `statSync` by passing in `opts.statSync` or `opts.mkdirSync`, or
- providing an `fs` option that only overrides one of these.
- ## `mkdirp.manual`, `mkdirp.manualSync`
- Use the manual implementation (not the native one). This is the
- default when the native implementation is not available or the
- stat/mkdir implementation is overridden.
- ## `mkdirp.native`, `mkdirp.nativeSync`
- Use the native implementation (not the manual one). This is the
- default when the native implementation is available and
- stat/mkdir are not overridden.
- # implementation
- On Node.js v10.12.0 and above, use the native `fs.mkdir(p,
- {recursive:true})` option, unless `fs.mkdir`/`fs.mkdirSync` has
- been overridden by an option.
- ## native implementation
- - If the path is a root directory, then pass it to the underlying
- implementation and return the result/error. (In this case,
- it'll either succeed or fail, but we aren't actually creating
- any dirs.)
- - Walk up the path statting each directory, to find the first
- path that will be created, `made`.
- - Call `fs.mkdir(path, { recursive: true })` (or `fs.mkdirSync`)
- - If error, raise it to the caller.
- - Return `made`.
- ## manual implementation
- - Call underlying `fs.mkdir` implementation, with `recursive:
- false`
- - If error:
- - If path is a root directory, raise to the caller and do not
- handle it
- - If ENOENT, mkdirp parent dir, store result as `made`
- - stat(path)
- - If error, raise original `mkdir` error
- - If directory, return `made`
- - Else, raise original `mkdir` error
- - else
- - return `undefined` if a root dir, or `made` if set, or `path`
- ## windows vs unix caveat
- On Windows file systems, attempts to create a root directory (ie,
- a drive letter or root UNC path) will fail. If the root
- directory exists, then it will fail with `EPERM`. If the root
- directory does not exist, then it will fail with `ENOENT`.
- On posix file systems, attempts to create a root directory (in
- recursive mode) will succeed silently, as it is treated like just
- another directory that already exists. (In non-recursive mode,
- of course, it fails with `EEXIST`.)
- In order to preserve this system-specific behavior (and because
- it's not as if we can create the parent of a root directory
- anyway), attempts to create a root directory are passed directly
- to the `fs` implementation, and any errors encountered are not
- handled.
- ## native error caveat
- The native implementation (as of at least Node.js v13.4.0) does
- not provide appropriate errors in some cases (see
- [nodejs/node#31481](https://github.com/nodejs/node/issues/31481)
- and
- [nodejs/node#28015](https://github.com/nodejs/node/issues/28015)).
- In order to work around this issue, the native implementation
- will fall back to the manual implementation if an `ENOENT` error
- is encountered.
- # choosing a recursive mkdir implementation
- There are a few to choose from! Use the one that suits your
- needs best :D
- ## use `fs.mkdir(path, {recursive: true}, cb)` if:
- - You wish to optimize performance even at the expense of other
- factors.
- - You don't need to know the first dir created.
- - You are ok with getting `ENOENT` as the error when some other
- problem is the actual cause.
- - You can limit your platforms to Node.js v10.12 and above.
- - You're ok with using callbacks instead of promises.
- - You don't need/want a CLI.
- - You don't need to override the `fs` methods in use.
- ## use this module (mkdirp 1.x or 2.x) if:
- - You need to know the first directory that was created.
- - You wish to use the native implementation if available, but
- fall back when it's not.
- - You prefer promise-returning APIs to callback-taking APIs.
- - You want more useful error messages than the native recursive
- mkdir provides (at least as of Node.js v13.4), and are ok with
- re-trying on `ENOENT` to achieve this.
- - You need (or at least, are ok with) a CLI.
- - You need to override the `fs` methods in use.
- ## use [`make-dir`](http://npm.im/make-dir) if:
- - You do not need to know the first dir created (and wish to save
- a few `stat` calls when using the native implementation for
- this reason).
- - You wish to use the native implementation if available, but
- fall back when it's not.
- - You prefer promise-returning APIs to callback-taking APIs.
- - You are ok with occasionally getting `ENOENT` errors for
- failures that are actually related to something other than a
- missing file system entry.
- - You don't need/want a CLI.
- - You need to override the `fs` methods in use.
- ## use mkdirp 0.x if:
- - You need to know the first directory that was created.
- - You need (or at least, are ok with) a CLI.
- - You need to override the `fs` methods in use.
- - You're ok with using callbacks instead of promises.
- - You are not running on Windows, where the root-level ENOENT
- errors can lead to infinite regress.
- - You think vinyl just sounds warmer and richer for some weird
- reason.
- - You are supporting truly ancient Node.js versions, before even
- the advent of a `Promise` language primitive. (Please don't.
- You deserve better.)
- # cli
- This package also ships with a `mkdirp` command.
- ```
- $ mkdirp -h
- usage: mkdirp [DIR1,DIR2..] {OPTIONS}
- Create each supplied directory including any necessary parent directories
- that don't yet exist.
- If the directory already exists, do nothing.
- OPTIONS are:
- -m<mode> If a directory needs to be created, set the mode as an octal
- --mode=<mode> permission string.
- -v --version Print the mkdirp version number
- -h --help Print this helpful banner
- -p --print Print the first directories created for each path provided
- --manual Use manual implementation, even if native is available
- ```
- # install
- With [npm](http://npmjs.org) do:
- ```
- npm install mkdirp
- ```
- to get the library locally, or
- ```
- npm install -g mkdirp
- ```
- to get the command everywhere, or
- ```
- npx mkdirp ...
- ```
- to run the command without installing it globally.
- # platform support
- This module works on node v8, but only v10 and above are officially
- supported, as Node v8 reached its LTS end of life 2020-01-01, which is in
- the past, as of this writing.
- # license
