How to create a directory if it doesn't exist using Node.js?

Question

Is this the right way to create a directory if it doesn\'t exist. It should have full permission for the script and readable by others.

var dir = __dirname +         


        

Answer 1

Here is a little function to recursivlely create directories:

const createDir = (dir) => {
  // This will create a dir given a path such as './folder/subfolder' 
  const splitPath = dir.split('/');
  splitPath.reduce((path, subPath) => {
    let currentPath;
    if(subPath != '.'){
      currentPath = path + '/' + subPath;
      if (!fs.existsSync(currentPath)){
        fs.mkdirSync(currentPath);
      }
    }
    else{
      currentPath = subPath;
    }
    return currentPath
  }, '')
}
