Examples

Basic File Creation

// Create a simple text file
const result = await codebolt.fs.createFile(
    'example.txt', 
    'This is the content of the file.', 
    '/home/user/documents'
);
console.log('File created:', result);

Creating Files with Complex Content

// Create a JavaScript file with code content
const jsCodeContent = `
// Sample JavaScript file with various code definitions
class TestClass {
    constructor(name) {
        this.name = name;
    }
    
    testMethod() {
        return 'Hello from ' + this.name;
    }
    
    static staticMethod() {
        return 'Static method called';
    }
}

function testFunction(param1, param2) {
    return param1 + param2;
}

const arrowFunction = (x, y) => x * y;

module.exports = { TestClass, testFunction, arrowFunction };
`;

const createResult = await codebolt.fs.createFile(
    'test-code-definitions.js', 
    jsCodeContent, 
    '.'
);
console.log('JavaScript file created:', createResult);

Error Handling

try {
    const result = await codebolt.fs.createFile(
        'test-file.txt', 
        'This is a test file created by CodeboltJS', 
        '.'
    );
    
    if (result.success) {
        console.log('✅ File created successfully:', result.fileName);
        console.log('Message:', result.message);
    } else {
        console.log('❌ File creation failed:', result.message);
    }
} catch (error) {
    console.error('Error creating file:', error.message);
}

Creating Files in Current Directory

// Create a file in the current working directory
const result = await codebolt.fs.createFile(
    'fs-test-file.txt', 
    'This is a test file created by CodeboltJS FS test', 
    '.'
);
console.log('File created in current directory:', result);

// Let's assume you want to create a file named example.txt in the /home/user/documents directory with some content.

codebolt.fs.createFile('example.txt', 'This is the content of the file.', '/home/user/documents');
