fs-write-stream-atomic

Like fs.createWriteStream(...), but atomic.

Writes to a tmp file and does an atomic fs.rename to move it into place when it's done.

First rule of debugging: It's always a race condition.

USAGE

var fsWriteStreamAtomic = require('fs-write-stream-atomic')
// options are optional. 
var write = fsWriteStreamAtomic('output.txt', options)
var read = fs.createReadStream('input.txt')
read.pipe(write)
 
// When the write stream emits a 'finish' or 'close' event, 
// you can be sure that it is moved into place, and contains 
// all the bytes that were written to it, even if something else 
// was writing to `output.txt` at the same time.
