quick-tmp

Quickly and synchronously retrieve a temporary directory name for you to use.

Using the name generation from the tmp module, but allowing you to handle writing and removing of directories/files.

Usage

getDirectory = quickTmp([prefix])

Configures the temporary directory's prefix, which defaults to 'quicktmp'.

directory = getDirectory([retries])

Return a random temporary directory name. You'll have to create the directory yourself. retries determines how many times to try finding a folder not that doesn't already exist, and defaults to 10.

// straight away:
var directory = require('quick-tmp')('prefix')()
// or later:
var getDirectory = require('quick-tmp')('prefix')
getDirectory()
// => '/var/folders/43/z7pv8pvd4x57nt_1zz2561tw0000gn/T/prefix-43831t6vveao'
