How to create full path with node's fs.mkdirSync?

Question

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

I solved the problem this way - similar to other recursive answers but to me this is much easier to understand and read.

const path = require('path');
const fs = require('fs');

function mkdirRecurse(inputPath) {
  if (fs.existsSync(inputPath)) {
    return;
  }
  const basePath = path.dirname(inputPath);
  if (fs.existsSync(basePath)) {
    fs.mkdirSync(inputPath);
  }
  mkdirRecurse(basePath);
}
