make-dir

> Make a directory and its parents if needed - Think `mkdir -p`

# Advantages over <a href="https://github.com/substack/node-mkdirp"><tt>mkdirp</tt></a>

- Promise API *(Async/await ready!)*
- Fixes many `mkdirp` issues: #96 #70 #66
- 100% test coverage
- CI-tested on macOS, Linux, and Windows
- Actively maintained
- Doesn't bundle a CLI
- Uses the native `fs.mkdir/mkdirSync` `recursive` option in Node.js >=10.12.0 unless overridden

# Install

$ npm install make-dir

# Usage

$ pwd
/Users/sindresorhus/fun
$ tree
.
const makeDir = require('make-dir');
(async () => {
const path = await makeDir('unicorn/rainbow/cake');
console.log(path);
//=> '/Users/sindresorhus/fun/unicorn/rainbow/cake'
})();
$ tree
.
└── unicorn
└── rainbow
└── cake

Multiple directories:

const makeDir = require('make-dir');
(async () => {
const paths = await Promise.all([
makeDir('unicorn/rainbow'),
makeDir('foo/bar')
]);
console.log(paths);
/*
[
'/Users/sindresorhus/fun/unicorn/rainbow',
'/Users/sindresorhus/fun/foo/bar'
]
*/
})();

# API

## makeDir(path, options?)

Returns a `Promise` for the path to the created directory.

## makeDir.sync(path, options?)

Returns the path to the created directory.

### path

Type: `string`

Directory to create.

### options

Type: `object`

#### mode

Type: `integer`\ Default: `0o777`

Directory permissions.

#### fs

Type: `object`\ Default: ‘require('fs’)`

Use a custom `fs` implementation. For example `graceful-fs`.

Using a custom `fs` implementation will block the use of the native `recursive` option if `fs.mkdir` or `fs.mkdirSync` is not the native function.
