Node.js - create directory using path
0 points
In this article, we would like to show you how to create directory / folder using fs.mkdirSync method in Node.js.
Quick solution:
xxxxxxxxxx1
const fs = require('fs');2
3
const directoryPath = './newFolder';4
5
if (!fs.existsSync(directoryPath)) {6
fs.mkdirSync(directoryPath);7
}8
In this example, we create a new folder under the given path.
xxxxxxxxxx1
const fs = require('fs');2
3
const directoryPath = './newFolder';4
5
if (!fs.existsSync(directoryPath)) {6
fs.mkdirSync(directoryPath);7
} else {8
console.log('File or directory already exist!');9
}if we want to create folders that are nested, we have to set the recursive flag in the mkdirSync() method.
xxxxxxxxxx1
const fs = require('fs');2
3
const directoryPath = 'C:/projects/example/newFolder';4
5
if (!fs.existsSync(directoryPath)) {6
fs.mkdirSync(directoryPath, { recursive: true });7
} else {8
console.log('File or directory already exist!');9
}Result:
