overtop.file

fs wrapper for NodeJS which allows fs functions to return a promise and/or use the async/await keywords

Documentation

Using the File Stream as is, can be a sloppy way to go about handling files in NodeJS. Which is why you should use a wrapper such as this to make things easier when it comes to the inevitable errors that must be handled.

Read a file

To read a file, use the read function

overtop_file.read(filePath, encoding)
 	.then((d) => {
 		// Do something with data...
 	})
 	.catch((err) => {
 		// Do something about the error...
 	});

Write a file

To write a file, use the write function

overtop_file.write(filePath, data, encoding)
 	.then((d) => {
 		// Do other things...
 	})
 	.catch((err) => {
 		// Do something about the error...
 	});

Delete a file

To delete a file, use the delete function

overtop_file.delete(filePath)
 	.then((d) => {
 		// Do something else...
 	})
 	.catch((err) => {
 		// Do something about the error...
 	});
