|  | # outputFile(file, data, [options, callback])
 | ||
|  | 
 | ||
|  | Almost the same as `writeFile` (i.e. it [overwrites](http://pages.citebite.com/v2o5n8l2f5reb)), except that if the parent directory does not exist, it's created. `file` must be a file path (a buffer or a file descriptor is not allowed). `options` are what you'd pass to [`fs.writeFile()`](https://nodejs.org/api/fs.html#fs_fs_writefile_file_data_options_callback). | ||
|  | 
 | ||
|  | - `file` `<String>` | ||
|  | - `data` `<String> | <Buffer> | <Uint8Array>` | ||
|  | - `options` `<Object> | <String>` | ||
|  | - `callback` `<Function>` | ||
|  | 
 | ||
|  | ## Example:
 | ||
|  | 
 | ||
|  | ```js | ||
|  | const fs = require('fs-extra') | ||
|  | 
 | ||
|  | const file = '/tmp/this/path/does/not/exist/file.txt' | ||
|  | 
 | ||
|  | // With a callback: | ||
|  | fs.outputFile(file, 'hello!', err => { | ||
|  |   console.log(err) // => null | ||
|  | 
 | ||
|  |   fs.readFile(file, 'utf8', (err, data) => { | ||
|  |     if (err) return console.error(err) | ||
|  |     console.log(data) // => hello! | ||
|  |   }) | ||
|  | }) | ||
|  | 
 | ||
|  | // With Promises: | ||
|  | fs.outputFile(file, 'hello!') | ||
|  | .then(() => fs.readFile(file, 'utf8')) | ||
|  | .then(data => { | ||
|  |   console.log(data) // => hello! | ||
|  | }) | ||
|  | .catch(err => { | ||
|  |   console.error(err) | ||
|  | }) | ||
|  | 
 | ||
|  | // With async/await: | ||
|  | async function example (f) { | ||
|  |   try { | ||
|  |     await fs.outputFile(f, 'hello!') | ||
|  | 
 | ||
|  |     const data = await fs.readFile(f, 'utf8') | ||
|  | 
 | ||
|  |     console.log(data) // => hello! | ||
|  |   } catch (err) { | ||
|  |     console.error(err) | ||
|  |   } | ||
|  | } | ||
|  | 
 | ||
|  | example(file) | ||
|  | ``` |
