mkdirp

Like mkdir -p, but in node.js!

example

pow.js

var mkdirp = require('mkdirp');

mkdirp('/tmp/foo/bar/baz', function (err) {
    if (err) console.error(err)
    else console.log('pow!')
});

Output

pow!

And now /tmp/foo/bar/baz exists, huzzah!

methods

var mkdirp = require('mkdirp');

mkdirp(dir, mode, cb)

Create a new directory and any necessary subdirectories at dir with octal permission string mode.

If mode isn't specified, it defaults to 0777 & (~process.umask()).

cb(err, made) fires with the error or the first directory made that had to be created, if any.

mkdirp.sync(dir, mode)

Synchronously create a new directory and any necessary subdirectories at dir with octal permission string mode.

If mode isn't specified, it defaults to 0777 & (~process.umask()).

Returns the first directory that had to be created, if any.

usage

This package also ships with a mkdirp command.

usage: mkdirp [DIR1,DIR2..] {OPTIONS}

  Create each supplied directory including any necessary parent directories that
  don't yet exist.

  If the directory already exists, do nothing.

               permission string.
