Creates a temporary folder inside cwd, cds inside the folder, runs a function, and removes the folder. Especially useful for testing.
This package can be used to write file-based tests with real files. See below for some examples.
1# npm 2$ npm install with-local-tmp-dir 3 4# Yarn 5$ yarn add with-local-tmp-dir
1const withLocalTmpDir = require('with-local-tmp-dir') 2const fs = require('fs-extra') 3 4await withLocalTmpDir(() => { 5 console.log(process.cwd()) 6 //> /Users/max/project/tmp-18815DudQxmdn03Rz 7 8 // Create some files 9 await fs.outputFile('foo.txt', 'foo bar') 10 await fs.outputFile('bar.txt', 'foo bar') 11}) 12// Now the folder does not exist anymore 13 14// The folder is removed even if an exception is thrown 15await withLocalTmpDir(() => throw new Error('File could not be found'))
Instead of a function you can reset the state yourself instead of passing a function, i.e. change to the previous folder and remove the folder:
1const withLocalTmpDir = require('with-local-tmp-dir') 2const fs = require('fs-extra') 3 4// You can still pass options 5const reset = await withLocalTmpDir() 6 7console.log(process.cwd()) 8//> /Users/max/project/tmp-18815DudQxmdn03Rz 9 10// Create some files 11await fs.outputFile('foo.txt', 'foo bar') 12await fs.outputFile('bar.txt', 'foo bar') 13 14await reset() 15 16// Now the folder does not exist anymore
You can specify an options object that is passed down to tmp-promise. Check the readme for details. Some default values are adjusted, but they still can be overridden.
1const withLocalTmpDir = require('with-local-tmp-dir') 2const fs = require('fs-extra') 3 4// do not cleanup if there are files 5await withLocalTmpDir(() => { 6 await fs.outputFile('foo.txt', 'foo bar') 7}, { unsafeCleanup: false }) 8 9// run in a subfolder 10await withLocalTmpDir(() => { 11 console.log(process.cwd()) 12 //> /Users/max/project/foo/tmp-18815DudQxmdn03Rz 13}, { dir: 'foo' }) 14 15// use a different prefix 16await withLocalTmpDir(() => { 17 console.log(process.cwd()) 18 //> /Users/max/project/foo-18815DudQxmdn03Rz 19}, { prefix: 'foo' })
The most common use case for this package is probably unit tests with Mocha or Jest. The package itself is framework-agnostic, so you can use any of them. To make life easier when writing multiple files with multi-line text content, there are two handy packages: output-files and endent.
The following is an example for Mocha:
1const withLocalTmpDir = require('with-local-tmp-dir') 2const outputFiles = require('output-files') 3const endent = require('endent') 4 5const funcToTest = require('.') 6 7beforeEach(async function () { 8 this.resetWithLocalTmpDir = await withLocalTmpDir() 9}) 10 11afterEach(async function () { 12 await this.resetWithLocalTmpDir() 13}) 14 15it('works', async () => { 16 await outputFiles({ 17 'foo.txt': endent` 18 Lorem ipsum 19 dolor sit 20 `, 21 'index.js': endent` 22 export default { 23 foo: 1, 24 bar: 2, 25 } 26 `, 27 }) 28 funcToTest() 29})
It is also possible to test libraries that make use of Git. You can instantiate a local Git repository inside the temporary folder and run Git operations on it:
1const withLocalTmpDir = require('with-local-tmp-dir') 2const fs = require('fs-extra') 3const execa = require('execa') 4 5beforeEach(async function () { 6 this.resetWithLocalTmpDir = await withLocalTmpDir() 7}) 8 9afterEach(async function () { 10 await this.resetWithLocalTmpDir() 11}) 12 13it('works', async () => { 14 await execa.command('git init') 15 await execa.command('git config user.email "foo@bar.de"') 16 await execa.command('git config user.name "foo"') 17 18 await outputFile('foo.txt', 'foo bar') 19 20 await execa.command('git add .') 21 await execa.command('git commit -m "feat: init"') 22 funcToTest() 23})
Be careful though, if the repository is not properly initialized, your user Git config might be overridden!
