Create and remove temporary directories with minimal effort
npm install quick-tempCreate and remove temporary directories. Useful for build tools, like Broccoli
plugins. Smart about naming, and placing them in ./tmp if possible, so you
don't have to worry about this.
``bash`
npm install --save quick-temp
`js`
var quickTemp = require('quick-temp');
To make a temporary and assign its path to this.tmpDestDir, call either one
of these:
`js`
quickTemp.makeOrRemake(this, 'tmpDestDir');
// or
quickTemp.makeOrReuse(this, 'tmpDestDir');
If this.tmpDestDir already contains a path, makeOrRemake will remove itmakeOrReuse
first and then create a new directory, whereas will be a no-op.
Both functions also return the path of the temporary directory.
An optional third argument lets you override the class-name component of the
temporary directory name:
`js`
quickTemp.makeOrRemake(this, 'tmpDestDir', 'TreeMerger');
quickTemp.makeOrRemake(this, 'tmpDestDir', this.constructor.name); // default
To remove a previously-created temporary directory and all its contents, call
`js`
quickTemp.remove(this, 'tmpDestDir');
This will also assign this.tmpDestDir = null. If this.tmpDestDir` is
already null or undefined, it will be a no-op.
