Delete files/folders in nodejs
npm install node-delete
Delete files, folders in Nodejs using globs.
It also protects you against deleting the current working directory and above.
``sh`
$ npm install --save node-delete
`js
var del = require('node-delete');
del(['tmp/*.js', '!tmp/d.js'], function (err, paths) {
console.log('Deleted files/folders:\n', paths.join('\n'));
});
`
The glob pattern * matches all children and the parent*.
So this won't work:
`js`
del.sync(['public/assets/**', '!public/assets/goat.png']);
You have to explicitly ignore the parent directories too:
`js`
del.sync(['public/assets/**', '!public/assets', '!public/assets/goat.png']);
The async method gets an array of deleted paths as the second argument in the callback, while the sync method returns the array.
Type: object
See the node-glob options.
Type: boolean false`
Default:
Allow deleting the current working directory and files/folders outside it.
