disposable-directory

Simple utility for getting a disposable, temporary directory in a Node.js-compatible environment. Directory is cleaned up automatically when the function scope exists.

Uses the new Symbol.asyncDispose API and therefore requires Node.js 24+.

Example

async function doSomething() {
  // This creates a directory
  await using tempDir = await getDisposableDirectory();

  // the directory exists for the scope of this function
  console.log(tempDir);

  // No cleanup is required. The directory will implicitly be deleted when this function exits (or throws an error).
}
