Useful file utitiles. See API Documentation for detailed info.

walk(path, [pattern,] iterator[, callback])

Recurcively scan files by regex pattern & apply iterator to each. Iterator applyed only to files, not to directories.

fstools.walk('/home/nodeca', '\.yml$', function (path, stats, callback) {
  fs.readFile(path, 'utf-8', funtion (err, str) {
    if (err) {
      callback(err);
      return;
    }
     console.log(str);
    callback();
  });
}, function (err) {
  if (err) {
    console.error(err);
  }
   console.log('Done!');
});

rm_rf(path, callback)

Recursively delete directory with all content.

fstools.rm_rf('/home/nodeca/trash', function (err) {
  if (err) {
    console.log("U can't touch that");
    console.err(err);
    process.exit(1);
  } else {
    console.log("It's Hammer time");
    process.exit(0);
  }
});

mkdir_p(path, callback)

Recursively make path.

fstools.mkdir_p('/home/nodeca/media/xxx', function (err) {
  if (err) {
    console.log("Can't' create directory");
    console.err(err);
    process.exit(1);
  } else {
    console.log("We can now store some romantic movies here");
    process.exit(0);
  }
});

cp(src, dst, callback)

Copy file. Not optimized for big sourses (read all to memory at once).

var src = '/home/nodeca/secrets.yml',
    dst = '/home/nodeca/very/deep/secrets/main.yml';
 fstools.cp(src, dst, function (err) {
  if (err) {
    console.log("Failed to copy " + src + " into " + dst);
    console.err(err);
    process.exit(1);
