This Library is an extension on 'fs' module and is exported as Node.js modules

Installation

Using npm:

$ npm i --save file-conda

In Node.js:

const fileConda = require('file-conda')

Usage

.mkdir_p

A Unix like implementation of mkdir-p functionality that recursively creates directory and files structure in a stringed File path.

Syntax

mkdir_p(<filepath>(String))

Example

Assume that you want to create a file E.txt in the filepath /A/B/C which does not exists either.

mkdir_p('/Users/john/Documents/A/B/C/E.txt')

This will create directories A/, B/ and C/ in the filepath in the specified order with file E.txt.

.search_f

Searches a File in a given Directory

Syntax

search_f({ filename: <filename>(String), searchIn: <locationPath>(String)})

Example

search_f({ filename: 'test.txt', searchIn: '/Users/john/Documents/someDirectory'})

.listf_abs

List absolute paths of all the files in a Directory

Syntax

listf_abs( <filepath>(String), { exclude: [list of paths to exclude] } )

Example

exclude is an optional field which takes in a list of paths that you want to exclude. Default: exclude: []

listf_abs( /Users/john/Desktop/HelloWorld/)
listf_abs( /Users/john/Desktop/HelloWorld/, { exclude: [/tests/, /node_modules/] }

.searchAndReplace

Syntax

searchAndReplace({
  filepath: <filepath>(String),
  replaceTag: <tagSymbol>(String, default: '%'),
  replacer: { field: value, .. },
  copyTo: <destinationPath>(String, optional)
})

Example

Sample index.js template File Content:

@fileOverview
@author %authorName%

const %functionName% = () => {}

Running the code below on the above file

searchAndReplace({
  filepath: '/Users/john/Desktop/myProjectTemplate/index.js',
  replaceTag:'%',
  replacer: { authorName: 'John', functionName: 'handler' },
  copyTo: '/Users/john/Desktop/myProject/index.js'
})

will give an output in a new folder myProject as below

@fileOverview
@author John

const handler = () => {}
