const fileinator = require('../lib/fileinator');
const sizeParser = require('filesize-parser');

const size = sizeParser("20mb");
const path = "./data.dat";

fileinator.writeFile(size, path)
  .on('progress', (data) => {
    console.log(`${data.bytesWritten} of ${size} written`);
  }).on('done', () => {
    console.log(`Complete: ${path}`);
  });
