fs-promise
Deprecated Node.js fs module wrapper providing Promise-based API for file system operations.
What is fs-promise?
fs-promise was a Node.js utility module that provided Promise-based wrappers for the standard file system (fs) module. It allowed developers to use Promises instead of callbacks for file operations like reading, writing, and manipulating files and directories. The module has been deprecated in favor of more maintained alternatives like mz/fs and fs-extra^3.0.
Node.js developers working with file system operations who prefer Promise-based APIs over callback patterns, particularly those using async/await syntax in modern JavaScript codebases.
Developers chose fs-promise for its simplicity as a focused wrapper that maintained API compatibility with Node.js core while providing modern Promise interfaces. It offered a lightweight alternative to callback hell without requiring major codebase changes.
