# make-dir [![Build Status](https://travis-ci.org/sindresorhus/make-dir.svg?branch=master)](https://travis-ci.org/sindresorhus/make-dir) [![codecov](https://codecov.io/gh/sindresorhus/make-dir/branch/master/graph/badge.svg)](https://codecov.io/gh/sindresorhus/make-dir)

> Make a directory and its parents if needed - Think `mkdir -p`

## Advantages over [`mkdirp`](https://github.com/substack/node-mkdirp)

- Promise API *(Async/await ready!)*
- Fixes many `mkdirp` issues: [#96](https://github.com/substack/node-mkdirp/pull/96) [#70](https://github.com/substack/node-mkdirp/issues/70) [#66](https://github.com/substack/node-mkdirp/issues/66)
- 100% test coverage
- CI-tested on macOS, Linux, and Windows
- Actively maintained
- Doesn't bundle a CLI
- Uses the native `fs.mkdir/mkdirSync` [`recursive` option](https://nodejs.org/dist/latest/docs/api/fs.html#fs_fs_mkdir_path_options_callback) in Node.js >=10.12.0 unless [overridden](#fs)

## Install

```
$ npm install make-dir
```

## Usage

```
$ pwd
/Users/sindresorhus/fun
$ tree
.
```

```js
const makeDir = require('make-dir');

(async () => {
        const path = await makeDir('unicorn/rainbow/cake');

        console.log(path);
        //=> '/Users/sindresorhus/fun/unicorn/rainbow/cake'
})();
```

```
$ tree
.
└── unicorn
    └── rainbow
        └── cake
```

Multiple directories:

```js
const makeDir = require('make-dir');

(async () => {
        const paths = await Promise.all([
                makeDir('unicorn/rainbow'),
                makeDir('foo/bar')
        ]);

        console.log(paths);
        /*
        [
                '/Users/sindresorhus/fun/unicorn/rainbow',
                '/Users/sindresorhus/fun/foo/bar'
        ]
        */
})();
```

## API

### makeDir(path, options?)

Returns a `Promise` for the path to the created directory.

### makeDir.sync(path, options?)

Returns the path to the created directory.

#### path

Type: `string`

Directory to create.

#### options

Type: `object`

##### mode

Type: `integer`\
Default: `0o777`

Directory [permissions](https://x-team.com/blog/file-system-permissions-umask-node-js/).

##### fs

Type: `object`\
Default: `require('fs')`

Use a custom `fs` implementation. For example [`graceful-fs`](https://github.com/isaacs/node-graceful-fs).

Using a custom `fs` implementation will block the use of the native `recursive` option if `fs.mkdir` or `fs.mkdirSync` is not the native function.
