| # outputFile(file, data, [options, callback])
 | |
| 
 | |
| Almost the same as `writeFile` (i.e. it [overwrites](http://pages.citebite.com/v2o5n8l2f5reb)), except that if the parent directory does not exist, it's created. `file` must be a file path (a buffer or a file descriptor is not allowed). `options` are what you'd pass to [`fs.writeFile()`](https://nodejs.org/api/fs.html#fs_fs_writefile_file_data_options_callback).
 | |
| 
 | |
| - `file` `<String>`
 | |
| - `data` `<String> | <Buffer> | <Uint8Array>`
 | |
| - `options` `<Object> | <String>`
 | |
| - `callback` `<Function>`
 | |
| 
 | |
| ## Example:
 | |
| 
 | |
| ```js
 | |
| const fs = require('fs-extra')
 | |
| 
 | |
| const file = '/tmp/this/path/does/not/exist/file.txt'
 | |
| fs.outputFile(file, 'hello!', err => {
 | |
|   console.log(err) // => null
 | |
| 
 | |
|   fs.readFile(file, 'utf8', (err, data) => {
 | |
|     if (err) return console.error(err)
 | |
|     console.log(data) // => hello!
 | |
|   })
 | |
| })
 | |
| 
 | |
| // With Promises:
 | |
| fs.outputFile(file, 'hello!')
 | |
| .then(() => fs.readFile(file, 'utf8'))
 | |
| .then(data => {
 | |
|   console.log(data) // => hello!
 | |
| })
 | |
| .catch(err => {
 | |
|   console.error(err)
 | |
| })
 | |
| ```
