fobject

A simple promise-based wrapper for file operations that treats files as objects.

File = require 'fobject'
configFile = new File('config.json')
configFile.read().done((data) ->
    console.log "contents of #{configFile.path}: #{data}"
)

why?

The default fs module has a really ugly interface (including sync and async copies of almost every function) and doesn't make it easy to work with files that may or may not actually be written to the file-system. fobject abstracts out interaction with the file system so if you want to implement caching, or work with files without writing them to the disk, or whatever else you want: you can do so easily.
