# node-quick-temp Create and remove temporary directories. Useful for build tools, like Broccoli plugins. Smart about naming, and placing them in `./tmp` if possible, so you don't have to worry about this. ## Installation ```bash npm install --save quick-temp ``` ## Usage ```js var quickTemp = require('quick-temp') ``` ### Creating a temporary directory To make a temporary and assign its path to `this.tmpDestDir`, call either one of these: ```js quickTemp.makeOrRemake(this, 'tmpDestDir') // or quickTemp.makeOrReuse(this, 'tmpDestDir') ``` If `this.tmpDestDir` already contains a path, `makeOrRemake` will remove it first and then create a new directory, whereas `makeOrReuse` will be a no-op. Both functions also return the path of the temporary directory. ### Removing a temporary directory To remove a previously-created temporary directory and all its contents, call ```js quickTemp.remove(this, 'tmpDestDir') ``` This will also assign `this.tmpDestDir = null`. If `this.tmpDestDir` is already null or undefined, it will be a no-op.
