file-stat

Set the stat property on a file object. Abstraction from vinyl-fs to support stream or non-stream usage.

Install

Install with npm:

$ npm install --save file-stat

This is inspired by the file.stat code in vinyl-fs. I needed a function that essentially did the same thing but could be used with either stream or non-stream code.

Usage

var through = require('through2');
var stats = require('file-stat');

function toStream(fp) {
  var stream = through.obj();
  stream.write({path: fp});
  stream.end();
  return stream;
}

toStream('README.md')
  .pipe(stats())
  .on('data', function (file) {
    // adds `stat` object to file
    console.log(file.stat);
  })
  .on('end', function () {
    console.log('Done.');
  });

API

The sync methods use getters/setters to lazily add stat or lstat to the file object.

.stat

Asynchronously add a stat property from fs.stat to the given file object.

Params

• file {Object}: File object
• cb {Function}

Example

var File = require('vinyl');
var stats = require('{%= name %}');
stats.stat(new File({path: 'README.md'}), function(err, file) {
  console.log(file.stat.isFile());
  //=> true
});

.lstat

Asynchronously add a lstat property from fs.lstat to the given file object.

Params

• file {Object}: File object
• cb {Function}

Example

var File = require('vinyl');
var stats = require('{%= name %}');
stats.lstat(new File({path: 'README.md'}), function(err, file) {
  console.log(file.lstat.isFile());
  //=> true
});

.statSync

Synchronously add a stat property from fs.stat to the given file object.

Params

• file {Object}: File object
• cb {Function}

Example

var File = require('vinyl');
var stats = require('{%= name %}');
var file = new File({path: 'README.md'});
stats.statSync(file);
console.log(file.stat.isFile());
//=> true

.lstatSync

Synchronously add a lstat property from fs.lstat to the given file object.

Params

• file {Object}: File object
• cb {Function}

Example

var File = require('vinyl');
var stats = require('{%= name %}');
var file = new File({path: 'README.md'});
stats.statSync(file);
console.log(file.lstat.isFile());
//=> true

History

v0.2.0

• adds .lstat, .stat, .lstatSync and .statSync methods
• the .getStats async method was renamed to .stat for consistency with the added methods
