writefilesync options code example

Example 1: fs writefile node

const fs = require('fs')

const content = 'Some content!'

fs.writeFile('/Users/joe/test.txt', content, err => {
  if (err) {
    console.error(err)
    return
  }
  //file written successfully
})

Example 2: writeFileSync

var fs = require('fs');

// Save the string "Hello world!" in a file called "hello.txt" in
// the directory "/tmp" using the default encoding (utf8).
// This operation will be completed in background and the callback
// will be called when it is either done or failed.
fs.writeFile('/tmp/hello.txt', 'Hello world!', function(err) {
  // If an error occurred, show it and return
  if(err) return console.error(err);
  // Successfully wrote to the file!
});

// Save binary data to a file called "binary.txt" in the current
// directory. Again, the operation will be completed in background.
var buffer = new Buffer([ 0x48, 0x65, 0x6c, 0x6c, 0x6f ]);
fs.writeFile('binary.txt', buffer, function(err) {
  // If an error occurred, show it and return
  if(err) return console.error(err);
  // Successfully wrote binary contents to the file!
});

Example 3: fs readfile encoding

fs.readFile('/etc/passwd', 'utf8', callback);
