This is way out of scope for this library.
Ultimately, in a updateFile()
method, you'd still need to call fs.writeFile()
. There are so many json/object diff libraries out there, that you could easily create your own updateFile()
and updateFileSync()
methods in conjunction with this library.
I'm not sure if it doesn't falls in the scope of the library (I think it does). In any case, I've crafted my own updateFile
function by using the merge:
function updateFile(file, obj, callback)
{
jsonfile.readFile(file, function(error, orig)
{
if(error) return callback(error)
jsonfile.writeFile(file, recursive(orig, obj), callback)
})
}
Instead of needing to call readFile, modify the Json, and later call writeFile, add an updateFile method that accept a literal object and use it's attributes and hierarchy to update the content of the Json file. To remove entries, they can be set to
undefined
, so JSON.stringify() will ignore them later.
