stats-ctor

fs.Stats constructor with a sane signature and defaults.

Usage

Sane defaults.

var Stats = require('stats-ctor');
var stat = new Stats();
 
console.log(stat.mode);  // 0
console.log(stat.uid);   // 1000  -  from `process.getuid()`
console.log(stat.mtime); // 2018-03-29T17:01:48.883Z  -  from `new Date()`

Sane single argument signature.

var fs = require('fs');
var Stats = require('stats-ctor');
var umask = 0o002;
var stat = new Stats({
    mode: fs.constats.S_IFREG | (umask ^ 0o777)
});
 
console.log(stat.mode); // 33277

Free copy constructor.

var fs = require('fs');
var Stats = require('stats-ctor');
var stat = fs.statSync('./README.md');
var copy = new Stats(stat);
 
console.log(stat === copy); // false
console.log(stat.mtime.getTime() === copy.mtime.getTime()); // true  -  same for all properties on the copy instance

API

Stats([options])

Identical to the fs.Stats constructor in node core, except it has a single options argument instead of fourteen named arguments.

options

Type: Object

Simply uses the named arguments from fs.Stats as property names.

dev

Type: Number
Default: 0

mode

Type: Number
Default: 0

You should create a real mode for most use cases. See fs.constants. For example when creating a new regular file do fs.constants.S_IFREG | (process.umask() ^ 0o666).

nlink

Type: Number
Default: 0

uid

Type: Number
Default: process.getuid()

gid

Type: Number
Default: process.getgid()

rdev

Type: Number
Default: 0

blksize

Type: Number
Default: 0

ino

Type: Number
Default: 0

size

Type: Number
Default: 0

blocks

Type: Number
Default: 0

atim_msec

Type: Number
Default: Date.now()

This property creates a Date instance called atime.

mtim_msec

Type: Number
Default: Date.now()

This property creates a Date instance called mtime.

ctim_msec

Type: Number
Default: Date.now()

This property creates a Date instance called ctime.

birthtim_msec

Type: Number
Default: Date.now()

This property creates a Date instance called birthtime.

Stats.prototype.atim_msec

Type: Number

A millisecond getter/setter for atime.
If available on the instance, setter will update atimeMs.

Stats.prototype.mtim_msec

Type: Number

A millisecond getter/setter for mtime.
If available on the instance, setter will update mtimeMs.

Stats.prototype.ctim_msec

Type: Number

A millisecond getter/setter for ctime.
If available on the instance, setter will update ctimeMs.

Stats.prototype.birthtim_msec

Type: Number

A millisecond getter/setter for birthtime.
If available on the instance, setter will update birthtimeMs.

Warning

Node added millisecond properties starting with v8.1.0. However, these are instance properties and are disconnected with the Date equivalent. For example, updating stat.mtimeMs will not update stat.mtime.

As such this module makes atimeMs, ctimeMs, mtimeMs, & birthtimeMs non-enumerable. Instead use the prototype properties above.
