## README

forcepaths
==========

Create folders and files even if parent folders don't exist (node js)

**Create a folder**

    var forcePaths = require('forcePaths');
    
    forcePaths(
        "./my/long/path/to/a/folder",
        function(err,stat){
            if (!err) {
			     if (stat.isDirectory()) {
					// this test is only needed if you
					// want to verify that the path was not 
					// previously a file.
			     }
    		  }
        }
    );
    



**Create a file**

    var forcePaths = require('forcePaths');
    
    forcePaths(
        "./my/long/path/to/a/file/hello.txt",
        "hello world",// <<< write this text to the file
        function(err,stat){
           if (err) {
              console.log(err);
           } 
        }
    );
    
    
    
**$R$ syntax (from requireasync)**

    eval(require('requireasync').install)

	$R$({forcepaths:0})("./my/path/to/afile.txt","write this there");


**Power user syntax**

    eval(require('requireasync').install)
    
	$R$({

		forcepaths:function(f){

			f("./my/path/to/afile.txt","write this there");
			f("./my/path/to/folder");
			f("./my/path/to/anotherfile","write this there");
			f("./my/path/to/folder/subfolder",function(err,stat){ console.log(err?err:stat?stat.mtime:"wtf happened?");});

		}

	})
