> Make a directory and its parents if needed - Think `mkdir -p`
## Advantages over [`mkdirp`](https://github.com/substack/node-mkdirp)
- Promise API *(Async/await ready!)*
- Fixes many `mkdirp` issues: [#96](https://github.com/substack/node-mkdirp/pull/96) [#70](https://github.com/substack/node-mkdirp/issues/70) [#66](https://github.com/substack/node-mkdirp/issues/66)
- 100% test coverage
- CI-tested on macOS, Linux, and Windows
- Actively maintained
- Doesn't bundle a CLI
## Install
```
$ npm install make-dir
```
## Usage
```
$ pwd
/Users/sindresorhus/fun
$ tree
.
```
```js
const makeDir = require('make-dir');
makeDir('unicorn/rainbow/cake').then(path => {
console.log(path);
//=> '/Users/sindresorhus/fun/unicorn/rainbow/cake'
});
```
```
$ tree
.
└── unicorn
└── rainbow
└── cake
```
Multiple directories:
```js
const makeDir = require('make-dir');
Promise.all([
makeDir('unicorn/rainbow')
makeDir('foo/bar')
]).then(paths => {
console.log(paths);
/*
[
'/Users/sindresorhus/fun/unicorn/rainbow',
'/Users/sindresorhus/fun/foo/bar'
]
*/
});
```
## API
### makeDir(path, [options])
Returns a `Promise` for the path to the created directory.
### makeDir.sync(path, [options])
Returns the path to the created directory.
#### path
Type: `string`
Directory to create.
#### options
Type: `Object`
##### mode
Type: `integer`<br>
Default: `0o777 & (~process.umask())`
Directory [permissions](https://x-team.com/blog/file-system-permissions-umask-node-js/).
##### fs
Type: `Object`<br>
Default: `require('fs')`
Use a custom `fs` implementation. For example [`graceful-fs`](https://github.com/isaacs/node-graceful-fs).
