Stop getting EMFILE errors! Open only as many files as the operating system supports.

Usage

Complete API Documentation.

var safefs = require('safefs')

SafeFS uses graceful-fs to wrap all of the standard file system methods to avoid EMFILE errors among other problems.

On-top of graceful-fs, SafeFS also adds additional wrapping on the following methods:

  • writeFile(path, data, options?, next) - ensure the full path exists before writing to it
  • appendFile(path, data, options?, next) - ensure the full path exists before writing to it
  • mkdir(path, mode?, next) - mode defaults to 0o777 & (~process.umask())
  • unlink(path, next) - checks if the file exists before removing it

SafeFS also define these additional methods:

  • ensurePath(path, options, next) - ensure the full path exists, equivalent to unix's mdir -p path
  • getParentPathSync(path) - returns the parent directory of the path

Alternatives

You should use these instead, which use and provide modern APIs while providing brilliant ecosystem support:

Install

npm

  • Install: npm install --save safefs
  • Import: import * as pkg from ('safefs')
  • Require: const pkg = require('safefs')

Editions

This package is published with the following editions:

  • safefs aliases safefs/source/index.js
  • safefs/source/index.js is ESNext source code for Node.js 4 || 6 || 8 || 10 || 12 || 14 || 16 || 18 || 20 || 21 with Require for modules

TypeScript

This project provides its type information via inline JSDoc Comments. To make use of this in TypeScript, set your maxNodeModuleJsDepth compiler option to 5 or thereabouts. You can accomplish this via your tsconfig.json file like so:

{
  "compilerOptions": {
    "maxNodeModuleJsDepth": 5
  }
}
