khai96_unique-temp-path
Create temporary directory/file names that are unique
Requirements
- Node.js ≥ 8.9.0
Why?
There're always files/directories being added to temporary directory. There's a chance, albeit rather small, that a random string would collapse with them. For this reason, it is necessary to check whether that random name exists.
Usage
Function Signature
declare function tempPath (prefix?: string, suffix?: string): string
Example
import tempPath from 'unique-temp-path'
import fs from 'fs'
const filename = tempPath('myprefix', 'mysuffix')
fs.writeFileSync(filename, 'This is temporary')
A file with name of myprefix{{random string}}mysuffix would be created.
