node-fs-extra

Tech stack & purpose

fs-extra is a Node.js library that extends the native `fs` module with additional file system methods like `copy()`, `remove()`, and `mkdirs()`, while also adding promise support to existing `fs` methods. Built in JavaScript, it uses `graceful-fs` to prevent `EMFILE` errors and is designed as a drop-in replacement for the native `fs` module. The project was created by JP Richardson to eliminate the need to separately include utility packages like `mkdirp`, `rimraf`, and `ncp` in projects.
