Node.js implementation of rm -fr – recursive removal of files and directories

const rmfr = require('rmfr');

(async () => await rmfr('path/to/target'))();

Use npm.

npm install rmfr

const rmfr = require('rmfr');

path: string (a file/directory path)
options: Object
Return: Promise

When it finish removing a target, it will be fulfilled with no arguments.

When it fails to remove a target, it will be rejected with an error as its first argument.

All rimraf options except for disableGlob are available, with some differences:

• glob option defaults to false.
  • If you want to specify targets using glob pattern, set glob option true or provide a node-glob options object.
• unlink, chmod, rmdir and readdir options default to the corresponding graceful-fs methods.

const rmfr = require('rmfr');

rmfr('inde*.js'); // doesn't remove `./index.js`
rmfr('inde*.js', {glob: true}); // removes `./index.js`
