create a file through appendfile vs writefile code example

Example 1: How to append to a file in Node?

// Asynchronously:
const fs = require('fs');

fs.appendFile('message.txt', 'data to append', function (err) {
  if (err) throw err;
  console.log('Saved!');
});

// Synchronously:
const fs = require('fs');

fs.appendFileSync('message.txt', 'data to append');

Example 2: writefile in node js

// append_file.js

const fs = require('fs');

// add a line to a lyric file, using appendFile
fs.appendFile('empirestate.txt', '\nRight there up on Broadway', (err) => {
    if (err) throw err;
    console.log('The lyrics were updated!');
});
