Package Exports

random-path

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 (random-path) to support the "exports" field. If that is not possible, create a JSPM override to customize the exports field for this package.

API

`randomPath(directory, template)`

Generates a random path name with the specified directory and template.

template should be a string where %s will be replaced with some random characters (e.g. 'linusu-%s'). The string should contain %s exactly once. If you want to include a literal percent sign, escape it with another one, e.g. '%%string' becomes '%string'.

Returns a string with the path.

Important: This module makes no guarantees on wether there exists a file at the returned path or not. Do not simply write data to the returned path. If you want a random file, use the higher level module fs-temp.

`randomPath.validateTemplate(template)`

Check to see if the template is a valid template accepted by randomPath. Throws an error if the template is invalid.
