outputFile(file, data, [options, callback])
Almost the same as writeFile
(i.e. it overwrites), except that if the parent directory does not exist, it's created. file
must be a file path (a buffer or a file descriptor is not allowed). options
are what you'd pass to fs.writeFile()
.
file
<String>
data
<String> | <Buffer> | <Uint8Array>
options
<Object> | <String>
callback
<Function>
Example:
const fs = require('fs-extra')
const file = '/tmp/this/path/does/not/exist/file.txt'
fs.outputFile(file, 'hello!', err => {
console.log(err) // => null
fs.readFile(file, 'utf8', (err, data) => {
if (err) return console.error(err)
console.log(data) // => hello!
})
})
// With Promises:
fs.outputFile(file, 'hello!')
.then(() => fs.readFile(file, 'utf8'))
.then(data => {
console.log(data) // => hello!
})
.catch(err => {
console.error(err)
})
