# @nodelib/fs.stat
|
|
|
|
> Get the status of a file with some features.
|
|
|
|
## :bulb: Highlights
|
|
|
|
Wrapper around standard method `fs.lstat` and `fs.stat` with some features.
|
|
|
|
* :beginner: Normally follows symbolic link.
|
|
* :gear: Can safely work with broken symbolic link.
|
|
|
|
## Install
|
|
|
|
```console
|
|
npm install @nodelib/fs.stat
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Usage
|
|
|
|
```ts
|
|
import * as fsStat from '@nodelib/fs.stat';
|
|
|
|
fsStat.stat('path', (error, stats) => { /* … */ });
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## API
|
|
|
|
### .stat(path, [optionsOrSettings], callback)
|
|
|
|
Returns an instance of `fs.Stats` class for provided path with standard callback-style.
|
|
|
|
```ts
|
|
fsStat.stat('path', (error, stats) => { /* … */ });
|
|
fsStat.stat('path', {}, (error, stats) => { /* … */ });
|
|
fsStat.stat('path', new fsStat.Settings(), (error, stats) => { /* … */ });
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### .statSync(path, [optionsOrSettings])
|
|
|
|
Returns an instance of `fs.Stats` class for provided path.
|
|
|
|
```ts
|
|
const stats = fsStat.stat('path');
|
|
const stats = fsStat.stat('path', {});
|
|
const stats = fsStat.stat('path', new fsStat.Settings());
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
#### path
|
|
|
|
* Required: `true`
|
|
* Type: `string | Buffer | URL`
|
|
|
|
A path to a file. If a URL is provided, it must use the `file:` protocol.
|
|
|
|
#### optionsOrSettings
|
|
|
|
* Required: `false`
|
|
* Type: `Options | Settings`
|
|
* Default: An instance of `Settings` class
|
|
|
|
An [`Options`](#options) object or an instance of [`Settings`](#settings) class.
|
|
|
|
> :book: When you pass a plain object, an instance of the `Settings` class will be created automatically. If you plan to call the method frequently, use a pre-created instance of the `Settings` class.
|
|
|
|
### Settings([options])
|
|
|
|
A class of full settings of the package.
|
|
|
|
```ts
|
|
const settings = new fsStat.Settings({ followSymbolicLink: false });
|
|
|
|
const stats = fsStat.stat('path', settings);
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Options
|
|
|
|
### `followSymbolicLink`
|
|
|
|
* Type: `boolean`
|
|
* Default: `true`
|
|
|
|
Follow symbolic link or not. Call `fs.stat` on symbolic link if `true`.
|
|
|
|
### `markSymbolicLink`
|
|
|
|
* Type: `boolean`
|
|
* Default: `false`
|
|
|
|
Mark symbolic link by setting the return value of `isSymbolicLink` function to always `true` (even after `fs.stat`).
|
|
|
|
> :book: Can be used if you want to know what is hidden behind a symbolic link, but still continue to know that it is a symbolic link.
|
|
|
|
### `throwErrorOnBrokenSymbolicLink`
|
|
|
|
* Type: `boolean`
|
|
* Default: `true`
|
|
|
|
Throw an error when symbolic link is broken if `true` or safely return `lstat` call if `false`.
|
|
|
|
### `fs`
|
|
|
|
* Type: [`FileSystemAdapter`](./src/adapters/fs.ts)
|
|
* Default: A default FS methods
|
|
|
|
By default, the built-in Node.js module (`fs`) is used to work with the file system. You can replace any method with your own.
|
|
|
|
```ts
|
|
interface FileSystemAdapter {
|
|
lstat?: typeof fs.lstat;
|
|
stat?: typeof fs.stat;
|
|
lstatSync?: typeof fs.lstatSync;
|
|
statSync?: typeof fs.statSync;
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
const settings = new fsStat.Settings({
|
|
fs: { lstat: fakeLstat }
|
|
});
|
|
```
