| # outputJson(file, object, [options, callback])
 | |
| 
 | |
| Almost the same as [`writeJson`](writeJson.md), except that if the directory does not exist, it's created.
 | |
| 
 | |
| **Alias:** `outputJSON()`
 | |
| 
 | |
| - `file` `<String>`
 | |
| - `object` `<Object>`
 | |
| - `options` `<Object>`
 | |
|   - `spaces` `<Number|String>` Number of spaces to indent; or a string to use for indentation (i.e. pass `'\t'` for tab indentation). See [the docs](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/JSON/stringify#The_space_argument) for more info.
 | |
|   - `EOL` `<String>` Set EOL character. Default is `\n`.
 | |
|   - `replacer` [JSON replacer](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/JSON/stringify#The_replacer_parameter)
 | |
|   - Also accepts [`fs.writeFile` options](https://nodejs.org/api/fs.html#fs_fs_writefile_file_data_options_callback)
 | |
| - `callback` `<Function>`
 | |
| 
 | |
| ## Example:
 | |
| 
 | |
| ```js
 | |
| const fs = require('fs-extra')
 | |
| 
 | |
| const file = '/tmp/this/path/does/not/exist/file.json'
 | |
| fs.outputJson(file, {name: 'JP'}, err => {
 | |
|   console.log(err) // => null
 | |
| 
 | |
|   fs.readJson(file, (err, data) => {
 | |
|     if (err) return console.error(err)
 | |
|     console.log(data.name) // => JP
 | |
|   })
 | |
| })
 | |
| 
 | |
| // With Promises:
 | |
| fs.outputJson(file, {name: 'JP'})
 | |
| .then(() => fs.readJson(file))
 | |
| .then(data => {
 | |
|   console.log(data.name) // => JP
 | |
| })
 | |
| .catch(err => {
 | |
|   console.error(err)
 | |
| })
 | |
| ```
