| 3 | > Make a directory and its parents if needed - Think `mkdir -p` |
| 4 | |
| 5 | ## Advantages over [`mkdirp`](https://github.com/substack/node-mkdirp) |
| 6 | |
| 7 | - Promise API *(Async/await ready!)* |
| 8 | - Fixes many `mkdirp` issues: [#96](https://github.com/substack/node-mkdirp/pull/96) [#70](https://github.com/substack/node-mkdirp/issues/70) [#66](https://github.com/substack/node-mkdirp/issues/66) |
| 9 | - 100% test coverage |
| 10 | - CI-tested on macOS, Linux, and Windows |
| 11 | - Actively maintained |
| 12 | - Doesn't bundle a CLI |
| 13 | - Uses the native `fs.mkdir/mkdirSync` [`recursive` option](https://nodejs.org/dist/latest/docs/api/fs.html#fs_fs_mkdir_path_options_callback) in Node.js >=10.12.0 unless [overridden](#fs) |

| 15 | ## Install |
| 16 | |
| 17 | ``` |
| 18 | $ npm install make-dir |
| 19 | ``` |
| 20 | |
| 21 | ## Usage |
| 22 | |
| 23 | ``` |
| 24 | $ pwd |
| 25 | /Users/sindresorhus/fun |
| 26 | $ tree |
| 27 | . |
| 28 | ``` |
| 29 | |
| 30 | ```js |
| 31 | const makeDir = require('make-dir'); |
| 32 | |
| 33 | (async () => { |
| 34 | const path = await makeDir('unicorn/rainbow/cake'); |
| 35 | |
| 36 | console.log(path); |
| 37 | //=> '/Users/sindresorhus/fun/unicorn/rainbow/cake' |
| 38 | })(); |
| 39 | ``` |
| 40 | |
| 41 | ``` |
| 42 | $ tree |
| 43 | . |
| 44 | └── unicorn |
| 45 | └── rainbow |
| 46 | └── cake |
| 47 | ``` |
| 48 | |
| 49 | Multiple directories: |
| 50 | |
| 51 | ```js |
| 52 | const makeDir = require('make-dir'); |
| 53 | |
| 54 | (async () => { |
| 55 | const paths = await Promise.all([ |
| 56 | makeDir('unicorn/rainbow'), |
| 57 | makeDir('foo/bar') |
| 58 | ]); |
| 59 | |
| 60 | console.log(paths); |
| 61 | /* |
| 62 | [ |
| 63 | '/Users/sindresorhus/fun/unicorn/rainbow', |
| 64 | '/Users/sindresorhus/fun/foo/bar' |
| 65 | ] |
| 66 | */ |
| 67 | })(); |
| 68 | ``` |
| 69 | |
| 70 | ## API |
| 71 | |
| 72 | ### makeDir(path, options?) |
| 73 | |
| 74 | Returns a `Promise` for the path to the created directory. |
| 75 | |
| 76 | ### makeDir.sync(path, options?) |
| 77 | |
| 78 | Returns the path to the created directory. |
| 79 | |
| 80 | #### path |
| 81 | |
| 82 | Type: `string` |
| 83 | |
| 84 | Directory to create. |
| 85 | |
| 86 | #### options |
| 87 | |
| 88 | Type: `object` |
| 89 | |
| 90 | ##### mode |
| 91 | |
| 92 | Type: `integer`\ |
| 93 | Default: `0o777` |
| 94 | |
| 95 | Directory [permissions](https://x-team.com/blog/file-system-permissions-umask-node-js/). |
| 96 | |
| 97 | ##### fs |
| 98 | |
| 99 | Type: `object`\ |
| 100 | Default: `require('fs')` |
| 101 | |
| 102 | Use a custom `fs` implementation. For example [`graceful-fs`](https://github.com/isaacs/node-graceful-fs). |
| 103 | |
| 104 | Using a custom `fs` implementation will block the use of the native `recursive` option if `fs.mkdir` or `fs.mkdirSync` is not the native function. |
