# @npmcli/fs
polyfills, and extensions, of the core `fs` module.
## Features
- all exposed functions return promises
- `fs.rm` polyfill for node versions < 14.14.0
- `fs.mkdir` polyfill adding support for the `recursive` and `force` options in node versions < 10.12.0
- `fs.copyFile` extended to accept an `owner` option
- `fs.mkdir` extended to accept an `owner` option
- `fs.mkdtemp` extended to accept an `owner` option
- `fs.writeFile` extended to accept an `owner` option
- `fs.withTempDir` added
- `fs.withOwner` added
- `fs.withOwnerSync` added
- `fs.cp` polyfill for node < 16.7.0
## The `owner` option
The `copyFile`, `mkdir`, `mkdtemp`, `writeFile`, and `withTempDir` functions
all accept a new `owner` property in their options. It can be used in two ways:
- `{ owner: { uid: 100, gid: 100 } }` - set the `uid` and `gid` explicitly
- `{ owner: 100 }` - use one value, will set both `uid` and `gid` the same
The special string `'inherit'` may be passed instead of a number, which will
cause this module to automatically determine the correct `uid` and/or `gid`
from the nearest existing parent directory of the target.
## `fs.withTempDir(root, fn, options) -> Promise`
### Parameters
- `root`: the directory in which to create the temporary directory
- `fn`: a function that will be called with the path to the temporary directory
- `options`
- `tmpPrefix`: a prefix to be used in the generated directory name
### Usage
The `withTempDir` function creates a temporary directory, runs the provided
function (`fn`), then removes the temporary directory and resolves or rejects
based on the result of `fn`.
```js
const fs = require('@npmcli/fs')
const os = require('os')
// this function will be called with the full path to the temporary directory
// it is called with `await` behind the scenes, so can be async if desired.
const myFunction = async (tempPath) => {
return 'done!'
}
const main = async () => {
const result = await fs.withTempDir(os.tmpdir(), myFunction)
// result === 'done!'
}
main()
```
