@vltpkg/rollback-remove

A utility for removing stuff, in such a way that the removal can be rolled back on failure, or confirmed and executed in a detached background process.

Usage

The best way to use this is to not catch errors, but detect failure in a finally block and either confirm or roll back appropriately.

1import { RollbackRemove } from '@vltpkg/rollback-remove'
2
3const remover = new RollbackRemove()
4
5let success = false
6try {
7  await remover.rm('some/path')
8  doSomethingThatMayThrow()
9  remover.confirm()
10  success = true
11} finally {
12  if (!success) await remover.rollback()
13}
