#3 FS Module (Promise API)

In the last blog you read about fs module (callback API). In today's blog we will go through the Promise API.

Everything will remain the same as what we learned in our last blog. The only change is using promise API will return the promise rather than callback.

You can check the code here

1. Write

// write file
(async function(){
    try {
      const filehandle = await fsPromises.writeFile('userlogs.txt', 'system logs...','utf8');
      console.log('file created')
    } 
    catch(err){
      console.log(err)
    }
  }());

2 . Append

// append file
(async function(){
    try {
      const filehandle = await fsPromises.appendFile('logs.txt', 'New logs', 'utf8');
      console.log(filehandle)
    } 
    catch(err){
      console.log(err)
    }
  }());

3 . Read

// read file
(async function(){
    try {
      const filehandle = await fsPromises.readFile('logs.txt', 'utf8');
      console.log(filehandle)
    } 
    catch(err){
      console.log(err)
    }
  }());

4 . Rename

// rename file
(async function(){
    try {
      const filehandle = await fsPromises.rename('logs.txt', 'userlogs.txt');
      console.log('File name updated')
    } 
    catch(err){
      console.log(err)
    }
}());

5 . Delete

// delete file
(async function(){
    try {
      const filehandle = await fsPromises.unlink('userlogs.txt');
      console.log('File deleted')
    } 
    catch(err){
      console.log(err)
    }
}());
