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

Exec can be messy on windows. There is a more "nodie" solution. Fundamentally, you have a recursive call to see if a directory exists and dive into the child (if it does exist) or create it. Here is a function that will create the children and call a function when finished:

fs = require('fs');
makedirs = function(path, func) {
 var pth = path.replace(/['\\]+/g, '/');
 var els = pth.split('/');
 var all = "";
 (function insertOne() {
   var el = els.splice(0, 1)[0];
   if (!fs.existsSync(all + el)) {
    fs.mkdirSync(all + el);
   }
   all += el + "/";
   if (els.length == 0) {
    func();
   } else {
     insertOne();
   }
   })();

}
