Create Directory When Writing To File In Node.js

Question

I\'ve been tinkering with Node.js and found a little problem. I\'ve got a script which resides in a directory called data. I want the script to write some data to

Same answer as above, but with async await and ready to use!

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

async function isExists(path) {
  try {
    await fs.access(path);
    return true;
  } catch {
    return false;
  }
};

async function writeFile(filePath, data) {
  try {
    const dirname = path.dirname(filePath);
    const exist = await isExists(dirname);
    if (!exist) {
      await fs.mkdir(dirname, {recursive: true});
    }
    
    await fs.writeFile(filePath, data, 'utf8');
  } catch (err) {
    throw new Error(err);
  }
}

Example:

(async () {
  const data = 'Hello, World!';
  await writeFile('dist/posts/hello-world.html', data);
})();
