Working with Files and Directories
Learn to handle file system operations in Node.js using the fs module, including directory listing, metadata access, folder management, and error handling.
The file system is a core component of most back-end applications, enabling us to store, organize, and retrieve data. Node.js provides the fs module, a built-in library that allows us to interact with the file system programmatically. It supports tasks like reading and writing files, managing directories, and retrieving file details. The module offers both synchronous and asynchronous methods, including a Promise-based API for more readable and manageable code.
