I am building a node module which will create a boilerplate for me…
in that i just want it to create a css file with the specified content.. How can i do it ?
similarly i also want to create a javascript file and a html file… i tried it with fs module in node but the content is not accepted by it…
@import url('https://fonts.googleapis.com/css2?family=Poppins:wght@300&display=swap');

Answer
Basically, you have two separate tasks ahead. Creating the file content and writing it into a file. The first one is usually the most problematic, because there are infinite ways of doing it.
I recommend you to use a templating engine like Mustache to create the content by passing variables to a template.
Finally you’ll use Node’s FS to effectively create the file using that content.
The following is an oversimplified example:
./index.js
import {default as Mustache} from 'mustache';
import {readFileSync, writeFileSync} from 'fs';
import {resolve} from 'path';
const templatePath = resolve(__dirname, './template.mustache');
const outputPath = resolve(__dirname, './my-file.css');
const templateContent = readFileSync(templatePath, 'utf8');
const data = {
justifyContent: 'center'
};
const fileContent = Mustache.render(templateContent, data);
writeFileSync(outputPath, fileContent, 'utf8');
./index.js (CJS Version)
const Mustache = require('mustache');
const fs = require('fs');
const path = require('path');
const templatePath = path.resolve(__dirname, './template.mustache');
const outputPath = path.resolve(__dirname, './my-file.css');
const templateContent = fs.readFileSync(templatePath, 'utf8');
const data = {
justifyContent: 'center'
};
const fileContent = Mustache.render(templateContent, data);
fs.writeFileSync(outputPath, fileContent, 'utf8');
./template.mustache
.my-class {
justify-content: {{justifyContent}};
}
./my-file.css (output)
.my-class {
justify-content: center;
}
To remove files and directories you can use recently added fs.rm() (requires Node v14.14.0 or newer):
const fs = require('fs');
const path = require('path');
const deletePath = path.resolve(__dirname, './file/or/directory/to/delete');
fs.rm(deletePath, {recursive: true, force: true});
