Filestash - Stash files away under a unique UUID

import FileStash from 'filestash';
const dst_path = "/path/to/store";

const store = FileStash( dst_path );
store( "/tmp/some_file.txt" ).then( (new_path) => {
    console.log( `File now at ${new_path}` );
});

Takes a file and moves it to a unique path with a randomly generated UUID. Underneath the destination path, the full path will be broken up by the first two bytes of the UUID. For example, let's say it generates the UUID "035ec4b7-2489-468c-b329-370723362d11" for the file, and you want things to be saved to "/home/foo/bar". This file would be saved at:

/home/foo/bar/03/5e/035ec4b7-2489-468c-b329-370723362d11

One use case is when you take user uploads. Have your backend framework save the upload to a temporary file, then save it somewhere with Filestash. Take the final destination file and save it to a database along with any metadata.

Note that the original file is removed during the process.
