unique-filename
Generate a unique filename for use in temporary directories or caches.
1const uniqueFilename = require('unique-filename')
2
3// returns something like: '/tmp/c5b28f47'
4const randomTmpfile = uniqueFilename(os.tmpdir())
5
6// returns something like: '/tmp/my-test-51a7b48d'
7const randomPrefixedTmpfile = uniqueFilename(os.tmpdir(), 'my-test')
8
9// returns something like: '/my-tmp-dir/testing-7ddd44c0'
10const uniqueTmpfile = uniqueFilename('/my-tmp-dir', 'testing', '/my/thing/to/uniq/on')uniqueFilename(dir, fileprefix, uniqstr) → String
Returns the full path of a unique filename that looks like:
dir/prefix-7ddd44c0
or dir/7ddd44c0
dir – The path you want the filename in. os.tmpdir() is a good choice for this.
fileprefix – A string to append prior to the unique part of the filename.
The parameter is required if uniqstr is also passed in but is otherwise
optional and can be undefined/null/''. If present and not empty
then this string plus a hyphen are prepended to the unique part.
uniqstr – Optional, if not passed the unique part of the resulting filename will be random. If passed in it will be generated from this string in a reproducible way.
