Creates a temporary folder inside cwd, cds inside the folder, runs a function, and removes the folder. Especially useful for testing. This package can be used to write file-based tests with real files. See below for some examples. ## Install bash # npm $ npm install with-local-tmp-dir # Yarn $ yarn add with-local-tmp-dir ## Basic Usage js const withLocalTmpDir = require('with-local-tmp-dir') const fs = require('fs-extra') await withLocalTmpDir(() => { console.log(process.cwd()) //> /Users/max/project/tmp-18815DudQxmdn03Rz // Create some files await fs.outputFile('foo.txt', 'foo bar') await fs.outputFile('bar.txt', 'foo bar') }) // Now the folder does not exist anymore // The folder is removed even if an exception is thrown await withLocalTmpDir(() => throw new Error('File could not be found')) ## Reset Instead of a function you can reset the state yourself instead of passing a function, i.e. change to the previous folder and remove the folder: js const withLocalTmpDir = require('with-local-tmp-dir') const fs = require('fs-extra') // You can still pass options const reset = await withLocalTmpDir() console.log(process.cwd()) //> /Users/max/project/tmp-18815DudQxmdn03Rz // Create some files await fs.outputFile('foo.txt', 'foo bar') await fs.outputFile('bar.txt', 'foo bar') await reset() // Now the folder does not exist anymore ## Options You can specify an options object that is passed down to tmp-promise. Check the readme for details. Some default values are adjusted, but they still can be overridden. js const withLocalTmpDir = require('with-local-tmp-dir') const fs = require('fs-extra') // do not cleanup if there are files await withLocalTmpDir(() => { await fs.outputFile('foo.txt', 'foo bar') }, { unsafeCleanup: false }) // run in a subfolder await withLocalTmpDir(() => { console.log(process.cwd()) //> /Users/max/project/foo/tmp-18815DudQxmdn03Rz }, { dir: 'foo' }) // use a different prefix await withLocalTmpDir(() => { console.log(process.cwd()) //> /Users/max/project/foo-18815DudQxmdn03Rz }, { prefix: 'foo' }) ## Unit Tests with output-files and endent The most common use case for this package is probably unit tests with Mocha or Jest. The package itself is framework-agnostic, so you can use any of them. To make life easier when writing multiple files with multi-line text content, there are two handy packages: output-files and endent. The following is an example for Mocha: js const withLocalTmpDir = require('with-local-tmp-dir') const outputFiles = require('output-files') const endent = require('endent') const funcToTest = require('.') beforeEach(async function () { this.resetWithLocalTmpDir = await withLocalTmpDir() }) afterEach(async function () { await this.resetWithLocalTmpDir() }) it('works', async () => { await outputFiles({ 'foo.txt': endent` Lorem ipsum dolor sit `, 'index.js': endent` export default { foo: 1, bar: 2, } `, }) funcToTest() }) ## Git-based tests It is also possible to test libraries that make use of Git. You can instantiate a local Git repository inside the temporary folder and run Git operations on it: js const withLocalTmpDir = require('with-local-tmp-dir') const fs = require('fs-extra') const execa = require('execa') beforeEach(async function () { this.resetWithLocalTmpDir = await withLocalTmpDir() }) afterEach(async function () { await this.resetWithLocalTmpDir() }) it('works', async () => { await execa.command('git init') await execa.command('git config user.email "foo@bar.de"') await execa.command('git config user.name "foo"') await outputFile('foo.txt', 'foo bar') await execa.command('git add .') await execa.command('git commit -m "feat: init"') funcToTest() }) Be careful though, if the repository is not properly initialized, your user Git config might be overridden! ## Contribute Are you missing something or want to contribute?
