make-dir

Make a directory and its parents if needed - Think

mkdir -p

Advantages over

mkdirp

• Promise API (Async/await ready!)
• Fixes many

  mkdirp

  issues: #96 #70 #66
• 100% test coverage
• CI-tested on macOS, Linux, and Windows
• Actively maintained
• Doesn't bundle a CLI
• Uses the native

  fs.mkdir/mkdirSync

  recursive

  option in Node.js >=10.12.0 unless overridden

Install

$ npm install make-dir

Usage

$ pwd
/Users/sindresorhus/fun
$ tree

(async () => {
    const path = await makeDir('unicorn/rainbow/cake');
console.log(path);
//=> '/Users/sindresorhus/fun/unicorn/rainbow/cake'
})();

$ tree
.
└── unicorn
    └── rainbow
        └── cake

Multiple directories:

const makeDir = require('make-dir');

(async () => {
    const paths = await Promise.all([
        makeDir('unicorn/rainbow'),
        makeDir('foo/bar')
    ]);
console.log(paths);
/*
[
    '/Users/sindresorhus/fun/unicorn/rainbow',
    '/Users/sindresorhus/fun/foo/bar'
]
*/
})();
