RFC-OPEN-PATH

Node module that creates missing folders in the middle of a path, like mkdir -p.

DEPRECATED: See @fcostarodrigo/open-path

Description

Let's say you want to create the file docs/UI/button.txt, but the folders UI and docs don't exist.

If you just try to create the file, this happens:

> fs.writeFileSync('docs/UI/button.txt', 'test')
Thrown:
{ Error: ENOENT: no such file or directory, open 'docs/UI/button.txt'
    at Object.openSync (fs.js:448:3)
    at Object.writeFileSync (fs.js:1210:35)
  errno: -2,
  syscall: 'open',
  code: 'ENOENT',
  path: 'docs/UI/button.txt' }

If you try to create the folder you get this:

> fs.mkdirSync('docs/UI')
Thrown:
{ Error: ENOENT: no such file or directory, mkdir 'docs/UI'
    at Object.mkdirSync (fs.js:773:3) errno: -2, syscall: 'mkdir', code: 'ENOENT', path: 'docs/UI' }
 

Using this library you can create the inner folders easily:

const openPath = require("rfc-open-path");
 
openPath("docs/UI/button.txt", true).then(() => {
  fs.writeFileSync("docs/UI/button.txt", "test");
});
