API seed generate

[abel30567]

I tried to generate a seed using the code that is in the documentation example and I'm getting the following error

fs.js:358 binding.open(pathModule._makeLong(path), ^

TypeError: path must be a string or Buffer at Object.fs.readFile (fs.js:358:11) at fs.readdir (.../node_modules/smidgen/lib/smidgen.js:46:8) at FSReqWrap.oncomplete (fs.js:135:15)

yes, I encountered the same thing.

just need to have it play more in line with the how CLI works:

const path = require('path');
const fs = require('fs');
const osenv = require('osenv');
const home = osenv.home();
const smidgen = require('smidgen');

const parsed = {};
parsed.smidgenconf = path.join(home, '.smidgenrc');

if (!fs.existsSync(parsed.smidgenconf)) {
  fs.writeFileSync(
    parsed.smidgenconf,
    '{"provider": "http://iota.bitfinex.com:80"}',
  );
}
const conf = {json: true};
smidgen.load(parsed, (err, smidgen) => {
  smidgen.commands['generate-seed'](smidgen.iota, conf, (err, res) => {
    console.log(res);
  });
});
