`rm -rf` for node.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Install with `npm install rimraf`, or just drop rimraf.js somewhere.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## API
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
`rimraf(f, callback)`
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The callback will be called with an error if there is one. Certain
|
||
|
|
errors are handled for you:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Windows: `EBUSY` and `ENOTEMPTY` - rimraf will back off a maximum of
|
||
|
|
`opts.maxBusyTries` times before giving up.
|
||
|
|
* `ENOENT` - If the file doesn't exist, rimraf will return
|
||
|
|
successfully, since your desired outcome is already the case.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## rimraf.sync
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
It can remove stuff synchronously, too. But that's not so good. Use
|
||
|
|
the async API. It's better.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## CLI
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If installed with `npm install rimraf -g` it can be used as a global
|
||
|
|
command `rimraf <path>` which is useful for cross platform support.
|
||
|

## mkdirp
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If you need to create a directory recursively, check out
|
||
|
|
[mkdirp](https://github.com/substack/node-mkdirp).
