# emptyDir(dir, [callback])
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Ensures that a directory is empty. Deletes directory contents if the directory is not empty. If the directory does not exist, it is created. The directory itself is not deleted.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
**Alias:** `emptydir()`
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- `dir` `<String>`
|
||
|
|
- `callback` `<Function>`
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Example:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```js
|
||
|
|
const fs = require('fs-extra')
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
// assume this directory has a lot of files and folders
|
||
|
|
// With a callback:
|
||
|
|
fs.emptyDir('/tmp/some/dir', err => {
|
||
|
|
if (err) return console.error(err)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
console.log('success!')
|
||
|
|
})
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
// With Promises:
|
||
|
|
fs.emptyDir('/tmp/some/dir')
|
||
|
|
.then(() => {
|
||
|
|
console.log('success!')
|
||
|
|
})
|
||
|
|
.catch(err => {
|
||
|
|
console.error(err)
|
||
|
|
})
|
||
|
|
|

|
|
// With async/await:
|
||
|
|
async function example () {
|
||
|
|
try {
|
||
|
|
await fs.emptyDir('/tmp/some/dir')
|
||
|
|
console.log('success!')
|
||
|
|
} catch (err) {
|
||
|
