mkdirp 0.5.6

The "mkdirp" package is used in Node.js to recursively create new directories, similar to how the mkdir -p function works in UNIX systems. This is a hybrid module, meaning you can import or require it. As a modern API, it aims to have zero bugs though acknowledges that a few may be missed.

To use the "mkdirp" package, you first need to either import it using import { mkdirp } from 'mkdirp' or require it using const { mkdirp } = require('mkdirp'). The returned value is a Promise that resolves to the first directory created. For instance:

import { mkdirp } from 'mkdirp'

// return value is a Promise resolving to the first directory created
mkdirp('/tmp/foo/bar/baz').then(made =>
  console.log(`made directories, starting with ${made}`)
)

If you prefer not to use promises, the .sync function is available:

import { mkdirp } from 'mkdirp'

// return value is the first directory created
const made = mkdirp.sync('/tmp/foo/bar/baz')
console.log(`made directories, starting with ${made}`)

This ensures that the directories /tmp/foo/bar/baz now exist.

The documentation for "mkdirp" can be found within the README of the package's GitHub page. This page includes in-depth explanations of all the methods provided by the package, example usage codes, CLI details, and tips for choosing a recursive mkdir implementation.
