Writing to Files Using NodeJS

Resource: https://nodejs.org/api/fs.html#fspromiseswritefilefile-data-options

Node gives us built in file operatoon using the NodeJS fs library. The version I learned on was the Promises library. They also have a synchronous version.

Args:

• file: the location and file that you are writting to
• data: the data being written

When writing JSON information I had to use JSON.stringify(recordsVar, null, 2). I also had to make sure the JSON data looked formatted so I added the null and 2 arguments for JSON.Strigify().

import { writeFile } from 'node:fs/promises';

// Write records marked for migration
fileWriter(
    'path/file.json',
    JSON.stringify(recordsJSON, null, 2)
)
