Provides async and sync fs methods with identical APIs
npm install fs-modeA drop-in replacement for Node's native fs module which adds fs.Async andfs.Sync namespaces with identical method names and APIs. Sofs.Async.readFile is the same as fs.readFile, and fs.Sync.readFile is a
wrapped version of fs.readFileSync which passes the result to a callback
instead of just returning it.
npm install --save fs-mode
``js
var fs = require('fs-mode');
function myModule (fs, otherArg, callback) {
// normal fs stuff using async methods
fs.readFile('myFile', function (err, data) {
if (err) return callback(err);
var result = doSomethingTo(data);
callback(null, result);
});
}
module.exports = {
myModule: myModule.bind(null, fs.Async),
myModuleSync: function (otherArg) {
var result;
myModule(fs.Sync, otherArg, function (err, data) {
if (err) throw err;
result = data;
});
return result;
}
}
`
As you can see, this makes it pretty easy to adapt an existing async module
using fs methods to also provide a sync option. For a real-world example of
this type of conversion, see https://github.com/es128/progeny/commit/6685987033036f9c6c1dc5afcc69268221681538
#### Use with other fs replacements
Such as graceful-fs or fs-extra
`js``
var fs = require('fs-mode')('graceful-fs');
