fast-write-atomic

Fast way to write a file atomically, for Node.js.

Requirements

• Node.js 20+

Install

npm i fast-write-atomic

Example

const writeFile = require('fast-write-atomic')

const data = Buffer.from('hello world')

writeFile('./hello', data, function (err) {
  if (err) {
    console.log(err)
    return
  }

  console.log('file written')
})

Promise API

writeFile.promise(path, content) returns a Promise and keeps the same atomicity behavior.

const writeFile = require('fast-write-atomic')

await writeFile.promise('./hello', Buffer.from('hello world'))

Development

npm install
npm test
npm run cov
node bench.js
