How does fs-extra.mkdtempSync work?

fs-extra.mkdtempSync is a synchronous function that creates a unique temporary directory with a specified prefix. It returns the path to the newly created directory.

When called, fs-extra.mkdtempSync generates a unique name by appending random characters to the specified prefix. The function creates the directory with fs.mkdirSync, including any necessary parent directories.

If the specified prefix is not a string, or if the underlying fs.mkdirSync call fails for any reason, fs-extra.mkdtempSync throws an error.

Note that fs-extra.mkdtempSync is a synchronous function, so it blocks the main thread until the directory is created. If you need to create a temporary directory without blocking the main thread, use the asynchronous fs-extra.mkdtemp function instead.

const fs = require("fs-extra");

const dir = fs.mkdtempSync("/tmp/myapp-");

console.log(`Created temporary directory ${dir}`);

In this example, we call fs-extra.mkdtempSync with the prefix '/tmp/myapp-'. The function will append a unique string of characters to this prefix to create a unique directory name. fs-extra.mkdtempSync returns the path to the new temporary directory, which we store in the dir variable. We then log a success message to the console, including the path to the new directory. If an error occurs while creating the directory, fs-extra.mkdtempSync will throw an error object. You can catch this error using a try/catch block if necessary.
