hdd-space

This module provides getting information about free space and size of storage devices. Values represent amount of bytes.

Update [August 2017]:

• Fixed problems with russian locales on linux;
• Support of promises (optional);
• Huge refactoring;
• Tests and code coverage;
• Better support of typescript;
• Codestyle;

Update [November 2016]:

• Added support of MacOS (and possibly some other unix-based OSs);
• Added options parameter (see below);
• Slightly changed the output format;
• Formated values (KB, MB, etc.);
• Translated to TypeScript (fully usable from vanilla JS still);

Installation:

npm i hdd-space

Example of usage:

// typescript:
import hddSpace from 'hdd-space';
 
hddSpace({format: 'auto'}, info => console.log(info));

or

// typescript:
import {getHddInfo} from 'hdd-space';
 
getHddInfo({format: 'auto'}, info => console.log(info));

or

// typescript:
import {fetchHddInfo} from 'hdd-space';
 
fetchHddInfo({format: 'auto'})
  .then(info => console.log(info));
 
// or
 
...
console.log(await fetchHddInfo({format: 'auto'}));
...

var hddSpace = require('hdd-space');
hddSpace(function(info){
    console.log(info);
});

Output:

• mountOn - place for unix OSs;
• letter - disk letter for win32;
• place - either mountOn or letter for any system;
• free - free space in bytes;
• size - size of a storage in bytes;

It's possible to pass option object as the first argument. Options:

• format
• output (it's possible to pass custom command output)
• platform (overrides auto detection, can be posix or win32)
• fetchOutput (almost like output, but it's function)

format can be one of the following (case insesetive):

• bit
• byte
• kb - 2 ^ 10 bytes
• mb - 2 ^ 20 bytes
• gb - 2 ^ 30 bytes
• tb - 2 ^ 40 bytes
• pb - 2 ^ 50 bytes
• eb - 2 ^ 60 bytes
• zb - 2 ^ 70 bytes
• yb - 2 ^ 80 bytes
• auto - messaure units will be selected automatically
• a function that take a number of bytes and return whatever you'd like;

Custom format example

var hddSpace = require('hdd-space');
hddSpace({
    format: function (s) { return s.toLocaleString(); }
}, function (info) {
    console.log(info);
});

Output:

{ parts:
   [ { free: '1,895,206,912',
       size: '34,359,734,272',
       place: 'C:',
       letter: 'C:' },
     { free: '144,277,504',
       size: '50,925,137,920',
       place: 'D:',
       letter: 'D:' },
     ...],
  total: { free: '1,827,687,292,928', size: '3,083,703,664,640' } }

Auto format example

var hddSpace = require('hdd-space');
hddSpace({ format: 'auto' }, function (info) {
    console.log(info);
});
