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

Using async / await:

const mkdirP = async (directory) => {
  try {
    return await fs.mkdirAsync(directory);
  } catch (error) {
    if (error.code != 'EEXIST') {
      throw e;
    }
  }
};

You will need to promisify fs:

import nodeFs from 'fs';
import bluebird from 'bluebird';

const fs = bluebird.promisifyAll(nodeFs);
