@hackbg/file

Filesystem utilities.

Your OS's filesystem isn't the most powerful database, it's one of the more familiar and human-friendly ones out there.

This package exports:

• The $ helper function, which concatenates paths.
• The File and Directory classes, which you can use to specify whether you expect a file or a directory at a given path.
• The JSONFile, YAMLFile etc. subclasses for automatically loading data in a given format.
• Reexports fs, fs/promises, as well as mkdirp and rimraf.

import $, { Directory, TextFile, JSONFile } from '@hackbg/file'

const root = $(process.cwd())

// Access files through a directory
const dir = root.in('data').as(Directory).make()
dir.at('file.txt').as(TextFile).save('my data')
dir.at('file.json').as(JSONFile).save({my:'data'})
console.log(dir.list())

// Or directly
console.log(new JSONFile(root, 'data', 'file.json').load())
console.log(root.in('data').at('file.txt').as(TextFile).load())
