winattr

Foolproof Windows® file attributes.

Get and set the following on a file or directory:

• archive
• hidden
• readonly
• system

A native binding is used, offering great performance. As a contingency in case that fails, functionality will silently revert to a command line, though it is considerably slower.

[!IMPORTANT]

It may go without saying, but this library is not intended to run on anything other than Windows.

Install

npm install winattr

Usage

import { getAttributes, getAttributesSync, setAttributes, setAttributesSync } from 'winattr';

await getAttributes('path/to/file.ext'); //-> {…}
getAttributesSync('path/to/file.ext'); //-> {…}

await setAttributes('path/to/folder/', { readonly: true });
setAttributesSync('path/to/folder/', { readonly: true });
