rimraf VS axios

And npmjs.com will block your IP if you do too many downloads in on day.

Actually is says 86m a week here: https://www.npmjs.com/package/rimraf

Huge thanks to Isaacs! Rimraf comes to the rescue, providing a reliable solution for deep, recursive removal of folders and files. At PURISTA, we rely on rimraf to maintain pristine build output directories.

Avoid platform-specific commands: Avoid using platform-specific commands in your scripts. Use cross-platform tools like Node.js or Bash to ensure that your scripts work on different platforms. For instance, if you want your npm script to remove a certain directory using the rm -rf command, this would work perfectly on a Linux or Mac machine but would error out on Windows. To avoid this, you can use a cross-platform package such as [rimraf](https://www.npmjs.com/package/rimraf).

Babel will overwrite but not delete any existing files or directories in the output directory. To be sure the lib folder doesn’t contain old files you can delete it before transpiling. To do this automatically you can install rimraf and add it to the transpile script like this:

Many packages on npm are designed to make changes to the file-system, such as rimraf or a code linter. In an accident, the consequences of running file-system altering code can be detrimental.

Also, rimraf seems to be popular.

No, that's why there's a bunch of packages such as rimraf[0] that implements that sort of functionality in a cross-platform way that most people use in their scripts

Something that might work: rimraf. A small node script can churn through file deletion surprisingly fast on Windows. Used to use it to clear out npm packages directories at a greater than glacial pace.

Um actually I use rimraf

Typically, there are various ways to choose an HTTP client, and for this example, I've chosen axios.

axios: To fetch data from the Strapi CMS API and also to fetch responses from our Express server.

Note, you can use any library for HTTP requests like axios. This example uses the http and node-fetch libraries available on npm.

Interact with other APIs over an encrypted channel. For example, you can use Axios with Node.js.

For this article, I will be using the TypeScript Starter template as shown in the screenshot above. This comes with Nodejs, Cheerio, Axios

Axios is suitable for a wide range of web development projects, from simple single-page applications (SPAs) to complex, large-scale enterprise software.

Axios for streamlined API interactions, facilitating seamless data fetching.

Axios is a popular HTTP client library for Node.js that provides a more user-friendly and feature-rich way to make HTTP requests. Axios simplifies error handling and supports features like automatic JSON parsing and request/response interceptors, making it a great choice for many HTTP request scenarios.

For this tutorial, we’re going to scan the file for malware using Verisys Antivirus API, and so we’ll add a package to make it easier to make external HTTP requests. Popular choices include Axios and node-fetch - for this article, we’ll use node-fetch

In the dynamic realm of JavaScript and front-end development, selecting the appropriate tool for HTTP requests is critical. Axios and Fetch stand out as two leading contenders, each offering distinct features and benefits. This article delves into their differences and practical applications, providing a comprehensive comparison.
