Asynchronously creates a disposable directory in the OS temporary directory that gets deleted after the callback is done or errors.

To install disposable-directory with npm, run:

npm install disposable-directory

Then, import and use the function disposableDirectory.

How to use a disposable directory:

import disposableDirectory from "disposable-directory";

disposableDirectory(async (directoryPath) => {
  // Use the directory here.
})
  .then(() => {
    // The directory is gone.
  })
  .catch(() => {
    // The directory is gone.
  });

Supported operating systems:

• Linux
• macOS

Supported runtime environments:

• Node.js versions ^14.17.0 || ^16.0.0 || >= 18.0.0.

Projects must configure TypeScript to use types from the ECMAScript modules that have a // @ts-check comment:

• compilerOptions.allowJs should be true.
• compilerOptions.maxNodeModuleJsDepth should be reasonably large, e.g. 10.
• compilerOptions.module should be "node16" or "nodenext".

The npm package disposable-directory features optimal JavaScript module design. These ECMAScript modules are exported via the package.json field exports:

• disposableDirectory.mjs
