    I also wrote another helper package output-files that creates a whole file tree at once by passing an object. It's much easier than writing a lot of fs.writeFile calls to create many files.

    A lot of my past projects in some way had to do with file access. I started to test with mocking libraries like mock-fs, but soon recognized that they do not work for all cases, and sometimes you are using third party libraries internally that you cannot mock easily. So I thought of a different solution and the one I'm using right now for most projects actually uses real files.

    In this post I'll be showing you how you can use mock-fs to easily unit test your Node.js scripts.

What are some alternatives?

When comparing output-files and mock-fs you can also consider the following projects:

with-local-tmp-dir - Creates a temporary folder inside cwd, cds inside the folder, runs a function, and removes the folder. Especially useful for testing.

fs-extra - Node.js: extra methods for the fs object like copy(), remove(), mkdirs()

jest - Delightful JavaScript Testing.

endent - ⬅️ An ES6 string tag makes indentation better

mocha - ☕️ simple, flexible, fun javascript test framework for node.js & the browser

watcher - The file system watcher that strives for perfection, with no native dependencies and optional rename detection support.

sequentially-generate-planet-mbtiles - Generate vector tiles for the entire planet on relatively low spec hardware.
