# fs-write-stream-atomic
|
|
|
|
Like `fs.createWriteStream(...)`, but atomic.
|
|
|
|
Writes to a tmp file and does an atomic `fs.rename` to move it into
|
|
place when it's done.
|
|
|
|
First rule of debugging: **It's always a race condition.**
|
|
|
|
## USAGE
|
|
|
|
```javascript
|
|
var fsWriteStreamAtomic = require('fs-write-stream-atomic')
|
|
// options are optional.
|
|
var write = fsWriteStreamAtomic('output.txt', options)
|
|
var read = fs.createReadStream('input.txt')
|
|
read.pipe(write)
|
|
|
|
// When the write stream emits a 'finish' or 'close' event,
|
|
// you can be sure that it is moved into place, and contains
|
|
// all the bytes that were written to it, even if something else
|
|
// was writing to `output.txt` at the same time.
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
