Package Exports

create-temp-file

This package does not declare an exports field, so the exports above have been automatically detected and optimized by JSPM instead. If any package subpath is missing, it is recommended to post an issue to the original package (create-temp-file) to support the "exports" field. If that is not possible, create a JSPM override to customize the exports field for this package.

Readme

create-temp-file

A tiny node module that creates a temporary file, returns a write stream, a path, and cleanup functions

example

var createTempFile = require('create-temp-file')

var ws = createTempFile()
process.stdin.pipe(ws)

process.on('exit', ws.cleanupSync)

api

var createTempFile = require('create-temp-file')

`var ws = createTempFile([extension])`

You can set the file extension for the temp file, or don't set an extension. E.g. '.png'.

ws is a write stream to the new temporary file with the following properties:

ws.path is the absolute path to the temporary file. E.g. '/tmp/b285e724-226c-11e5-9981-82bd40254040.png'
ws.cleanup([cb]) deletes the temporary file. Like fs.unlink
ws.cleanupSync deletes the temporary file synchronously. Like fs.unlinkSync

If an error occurs in ws.cleanup() or ws.cleanupSync(), the error will be emitted. Catch any errors like this:

ws.on('error', function (e) {
    throw e
})

install

With npm do:

npm install create-temp-file
