fast-write-atomic

Fast way to write a file atomically, for Node.js

Status: experimental

Install

npm i fast-write-atomic

Example

const writeFile = require('fast-write-atomic')

const data = Buffer.from('hello world')

writeFile('./hello', data, function (err) {
  if (err) {
    console.log(err)
    return
  }

  console.log('file written')
})

Benchmarks

npm run bench tests write a 1 MB file a thousand times for each fs.writeFile supported content type

• Task names with - INVALID postfixed did not write the content successfully.
• Tasks missing in the final table do not support the content type.
• Tasks showing NaN or undefined errored when attempting to write (content type likely not supported)

Example output on my M1 MacBook Pro after converting the CSV output to markdown using tablesgenerator:

String

Buffer

Uint8Array

Uint16Array

Uint32Array

DataView

Iterable

AsyncIterable

Stream
