What are some of the best libraries you cannot work without?
I haven't seen fs-extra mentioned yet. For my work it involves a fair bit of reading/writing to the filesystem, so this makes it quite nice to deal with everything in an async way.

mkdirp module problem
There are a number of these modules, https://github.com/jprichardson/node-fs-extra being probably the most famous / popular. It does a better job of explaining the why.

Re-release fs-extra to properly support esm/cjs usage
Since updating nodejs@18 and switching to esm only, many libraries have been replaced to support esm import, but fs-extra has not been The use of esm is correctly supported, and no suitable replacement has been found. After the a PR proposed by us was rejected, I decided to re-release a [fs-extra-unified] that correctly supports the use of esm (https://www.npmjs.com/package/fs-extra-unified) module.

Is it just me or after updating Foundry sucks?
Are you seriously suggesting the creators of the software can't write a "save elsewhere" function using Electron and JavaScript? The system has versioning so it would be easy to ask the user to create a backup on first loading with a new version of the software, and the copySync function to make a backup. Foundry uses Node.js already.

Node.js for GIS: from google locations to GeoJSON using Streams
We are dealing with a file that is far too large to be loaded into memory at once. Node cannot buffer the file for us because of the size of it.

Implement cool features for my static site generator
Implementing those 3 features was quite simple. For metadata and markdown file, I mainly used an external library: showdown to convert from markdown files to html files as well as parsing metadata from markdown files. However, implementing the support for static assets such as images is a bit more interesting. I had to use another external library called fs-extra to copy assets folder from user to the dist folder. I also had to create another new class called CopyFolder where I used fs.copy method to copy assets folder

Writing JS-based Bash scripts with zx
The zx project implements a shell script executor similar to Bash but using JavaScript modules. It provides an inbuilt asynchronous JavaScript API to call other commands similar to Bash. Besides that, it provides wrapper functions for several Node.js-based command-line helpers such as chalk, minimist, fs-extra, OS, and Readline.

Why Storing Files in the Database Is Considered Bad Practice
Node.js has the built-in fs module (fs/promises with async/await) which makes it easy to interact with the file system. On top of that, there are a few convenient libraries such as fs-extra and findit that make common tasks straightforward.

Batch with Node.js
For this purpose we'll use fs-extra since copy/paste seems like not supported by fs API.

My fist codestory. A day in my life, as a coder :)
async (config?: { /** * Overwrite the default ignored behavior */ customIgnored?: string[]; }) => { const projectRoot = getProjectRoot(); if (!projectRoot) return; // NB: fix to globally alter real fs in order to fix EMFile error that happens in TSMorph (see https://github.com/isaacs/node-graceful-fs) gracefulFs.gracefulify(realFs); console.log("Searching..."); const tsFunctions = await db.get("TsFunction"); const projectWatcherTsFunctions = tsFunctions.filter( (x) => x.explicitTypeName === "ProjectWatcher" ); const projectWatchers = projectWatcherTsFunctions .map((x) => x.name) .map((name) => sdk[name as keyof typeof sdk] as ProjectWatcher | undefined) .filter(notEmpty); log(`${projectWatchers.length} watchers gonna watch ${projectRoot}`, { type: "important", }); const startupWaitMs = 1000; setTimeout(() => { log( `There they are! \n\n${projectWatchers .map((projectWatcher) => { return `👁 👁 ${projectWatcher.name} ✅`; }) .join("\n")}`, { type: "success", } ); }, startupWaitMs); const startTimeAt = Date.now(); watch(projectRoot, { ignoreInitial: true, ignored: config?.customIgnored || [ "**/node_modules/**", "**/.next/**", "**/.expo/**", "**/build/**", "**/db/**", "**/.git/**", "**/.turbo/**", "**/generated/**", ], // alwaysStat: true, // not sure why I would need this, seems inefficient if I don't need it, I can simply run fs.stat }).on("all", (eventName, path, stats) => { if (Date.now() < startTimeAt + startupWaitMs) return; const relevantWatchers = projectWatchers.filter((watcher) => watcher.filter(eventName, path) ); oneByOne(relevantWatchers, async (projectWatcher) => { await projectWatcher(eventName, path); }); }); };

My theory on why so many people are bad at coding.
What's probably got your shorts in a knot is the contents of the node_modules directory. That directory is a cache for mode.js modules so the tutorial can function standalone without having to install anything else. Treat it as you would object code. I pulled a half-dozen of those modules at random and went to their repositories. Every one of them had unit tests: block-stream, graceful-fs, lowercase-keys, minimist, pify and safe-buffer. Nobody sane ships unit tests with their executables.

I'm a noob, I've hit a wall and I need a bit of handholding re: creating node.js app
graceful-fs https://www.npmjs.com/package/graceful-fs
What are some alternatives?
When comparing fs-extra and graceful-fs you can also consider the following projects:
rimraf - A `rm -rf` util for nodejs
chokidar - Minimal and efficient cross-platform file watching library
fs-jetpack - Better file system API for Node.js
globby - User-friendly glob matching
mkdirp - Recursively mkdir, like `mkdir -p`, but in node.js
proper-lockfile - An inter-process and inter-machine lockfile utility that works on a local or network file system.
write-json-file - Stringify and write JSON to a file atomically
fs-write-stream-atomic - Like `fs.createWriteStream(...)`, but atomic.
