# rmdir Remove all files in the given path recursively. ## Description Or just use `require( 'child_process' ).exec` and call `rm -r` var exec = require('child_process').exec; var path = '/path/to/the/dir'; exec('rm -r ' + path, function (err, stdout, stderr) { // your callback goes here }); ## Requires node >= 0.4.x ## Installation npm install rmdir ## Usage > Require the module before using var rmdir = require('rmdir'); ### rmdir(path, [options], [callback]); You can optionally pass in an alternate fs implementation by passing in `options.fs`.Your implementation should have `fs.lstat(path, callback)`, `fs.unlink(path, callback)`, `fs.readdir(path, callback)`, `fs.rmdir(path, callback)`, and `fs.exists(path, callback)` implemented. #### Arguments > path type: String desc: The path to be clear. > options type: Object desc: Options to be used when removing all files. > callback type: Function desc: The callback to be called after all files are removed. arguments: err: type: Error dirs: type: Array desc: The removed dirs. files: type: Array desc: The removed files. #### Example var rmdir = require('rmdir'); var path = '/path/to/the/dir'; rmdir(path + '/assets', function (err, dirs, files) { console.log(dirs); console.log(files); console.log('all files are removed'); }); ## Creadit [Aaron Larner](https: //github.com/alarner) [Glen R.Goodwin](https: //github.com/arei) [David Pate](https: //github.com/DavidTPate) [Radare](https://github.com/radare) ## License (The MIT License) Copyright(c) 2011 dreamerslab & lt; ben@ dreamerslab.com & gt; Permission is hereby granted, free of charge, to any person obtaining a copy of this software and associated documentation files(the 'Software'), to deal in the Software without restriction, including without limitation the rights to use, copy, modify, merge, publish, distribute, sublicense, and / or sell copies of the Software, and to permit persons to whom the Software is furnished to do so, subject to the following conditions: The above copyright notice and this permission notice shall be included in all copies or substantial portions of the Software.
