make-empty-dir
Ensures that a directory is empty
Ensures that a directory is empty. Deletes directory contents if the directory is not empty. If the directory does not exist, it is created. The directory itself is not deleted.
It works faster than emptyDir()
of fs-extra
because the contents of the directory are not read before the creation of the directory.
Installation
<npm|yarn|pnpm> add make-empty-dir
Usage
'use strict'
const makeEmptyDir = require('make-empty-dir')
await makeEmptyDir('dir-name')
// or create the parent dir as well
await makeEmptyDir('dir/subdir', { recursive: true })
API

Arguments:
dir
- Path - the path of the directory.opts.recursive
- Boolean - Optional. If true, parent directories will be created.
Returns:
A string is returned.
