mktmpdir
mktmpdir creates a temporary directory, ported from Ruby's Dir.mktmpdir.
var mktmpdir = require('mktmpdir');
mktmpdir(function(err, dir, done) {
if (err) throw err;
// use the directory...
fs.writeFile(dir + '/foo', 'hello, World', done);
}, function(err, dir) {
// after the directory is removed.
});
Installation
$ npm install mktmpdir
Usage
mktmpdir([prefixSuffix], [tmpdir], callback, [onend])
The prefix and suffix of the name of the directory is specified by prefixSuffix.
The directory is created under tmpdir or os.tmpdir() with 0700 permission.
Examples
mktmpdir(function(err, dir) {
// dir is ".../d..."
});
mktmpdir('foo', function(err, dir) {
// dir is ".../foo..."
});
mktmpdir(['foo', 'bar'], function(err, dir) {
// dir is ".../foo...bar"
});
mktmpdir(null, '/var/tmp', function(err, dir) {
// dir is "/var/tmp/d..."
});
// If a callback is invoked, the path of the directory and its contents are removed.
mktmpdir(function(err, dir, done) {
if (err) throw err;
fs.open(dir + '/foo', 'w', function(err, fd) {
done(err);
});
}, function(err) {
// the directory has been removed.
});
// If a callback is not invoked, `mktmpdir` doesn't remove the directory.
mktmpdir(function(err, dir) {
if (err) throw err;
fs.open(dir + '/foo', 'w', function(err, fd) {
// remove the directory.
exec('rm -rf ' + dir);
});
});
