Top 23 JavaScript Filesystem Projects

  • chokidar

    Minimal and efficient cross-platform file watching library

    • Project mention: The best testing setup for frontends, with Playwright and NextJS | dev.to | 2024-04-18

    For this, we'll use chokidar - more specifically the chokidar-cli package. chokidar is probably the most useful file watching library for the nodejs ecosystem and it will serve us well.

  • fs-extra

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

    • Project mention: What are some of the best libraries you cannot work without? | /r/node | 2023-06-08

    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.

    When I was browsing NPM for similar projects I do see that this one looks wayyyyy better! It's not a Web Component, but it's similar in what it does. Canvas-record seems to offer several different ways to encode your recordings including a WASM one which should be super speedy!
