solveClutter

The solveClutter module is designed to organize files within a directory by moving them into subdirectories based on their file extensions.

Installation

No additional installation is required. The module utilizes built-in Node.js modules (fs and path) and does not have any external dependencies.

Usage

const solveClutter = require('./solveClutter');

solveClutter('/path/to/directory');

Functionality

Directory Structure

• The module reads the contents of the specified directory.
• It creates subdirectories within the directory based on the file extensions of the files present.

File Organization

• For each file in the directory, the module extracts the file extension and creates a subdirectory with that extension name (if it doesn't already exist).
• It moves the file into the corresponding subdirectory.

Error Handling

• The module handles errors gracefully, logging any encountered errors during the file moving process.

Parameters

• pathName (string): The path of the directory containing the files to be organized.

Example

Suppose we have a directory structure like this:

- /path/to/directory
  |- file1.txt
  |- file2.js
  |- file3.txt
  |- file4.jpg

After running solveClutter('/path/to/directory'), the directory structure would become:

- /path/to/directory
  |- txt
  |  |- file1.txt
  |  |- file3.txt
  |- js
  |  |- file2.js
  |- jpg
     |- file4.jpg
