Top 23 JavaScript Filesystem Projects

  • chokidar

    Minimal and efficient cross-platform file watching library

    • Project mention: The best testing setup for frontends, with Playwright and NextJS | dev.to | 2024-04-18

    For this, we'll use chokidar - more specifically the chokidar-cli package. chokidar is probably the most useful file watching library for the nodejs ecosystem and it will serve us well.

  • fs-extra

    I haven't seen fs-extra mentioned yet. For my work it involves a fair bit of reading/writing to the filesystem, so this makes it quite nice to deal with everything in an async way.
