spawn-rmrf
Removes recursively with rm -rf ./file/path
(spawned), then executes a callback on end (optional).
Quick start
Install
npm install spawn-rmrf
Usage
var rmrf = require('spawn-rmrf');
Basic
rmrf('/path/to/remove');
With a callback (when done)
rmrf('/path/to/remove', function(code) {
console.log('Finished with code ' + code);
});
With Gulp
// async
gulp.task('clean', function(done){
rmrf('/path/to/remove', done);
});
ChildProcess events
rmrf
function launches a child process (spawn
) and returns a ChildProcess
instance, see the Node.js doc (spawn) for more details.
So you can use event listeners:
var rm = rmrf('/path/to/remove');
rm.stdout.on('data', function (data) {
console.log('stdout: ', data);
});
rm.stderr.on('data', function (data) {
console.log('stderr: ', data);
});
rm.on('close', function (code) {
console.log('rmrf exited with code ' + code);
});
Testing
spawn-rmrf is tested with Unit.js and Mocha. Unit.js is a powerful and intuitive unit testing framework for javascript.
