make-dir

Make a directory and its parents if needed - Think mkdir -p

Advantages over mkdirp

• Promise API (Async/await ready!)
• Fixes many mkdirp issues: #96 #70 #66
• 100% test coverage
• CI-tested on macOS, Linux, and Windows
• Actively maintained
• Doesn't bundle a CLI

Install

$ npm install make-dir

Usage

$ pwd
/Users/sindresorhus/fun
$ tree
.

const makeDir = require('make-dir');

makeDir('unicorn/rainbow/cake').then(path => {
	console.log(path);
	//=> '/Users/sindresorhus/fun/unicorn/rainbow/cake'
});

$ tree
.
└── unicorn
    └── rainbow
        └── cake

Multiple directories:

const makeDir = require('make-dir');

Promise.all([
	makeDir('unicorn/rainbow')
	makeDir('foo/bar')
]).then(paths => {
	console.log(paths);
	/*
	[
		'/Users/sindresorhus/fun/unicorn/rainbow',
		'/Users/sindresorhus/fun/foo/bar'
	]
	*/
});
