I’m trying to create a full path if it doesn’t exist.
The code looks like this:
var fs = require('fs');
if (!fs.existsSync(newDest)) fs.mkdirSync(newDest);
This code works great as long as there is only one subdirectory (a newDest like ‘dir1’) however when there is a directory path like (‘dir1/dir2’) it fails with
Error: ENOENT, no such file or directory
I’d like to be able to create the full path with as few lines of code as necessary.
I read there is a recursive option on fs and tried it like this
var fs = require('fs');
if (!fs.existsSync(newDest)) fs.mkdirSync(newDest,'0777', true);
I feel like it should be that simple to recursively create a directory that doesn’t exist. Am I missing something or do I need to parse the path and check each directory and create it if it doesn’t already exist?
I’m pretty new to Node. Maybe I’m using an old version of FS?
