Utilities to set up file system structures (directories, files, and symlinks).
Provide an object with forward slashes-delimited path keys describing the desired directory structure and it will be created for you.
It will not remove pre-exisiting directories, files, and symlinks so if you need this functionality, please submit a pull request!
**Example**
```
var path = require('path');
var generate = require('fs-generate');
var structure = {
'file1': 'a',
'file2': 'b',
'filesymlink1': '~dir3/dir4/file1', // symlink starts with ~
'dir1': null,
'dir2/file1': 'c',
'dir2/file2': 'd',
'dir3/filesymlink2': '~dir2/file1' // symlink starts with ~
'dir3/filelink2': ':dir2/file1', // link starts with :
'dir3/dir4/file1': 'e',
'dir3/dir4/dir5': null,
'dir3/dir4/dirsymlink1': '~dir2', // symlink starts with ~
};
generate(path.join(__dirname, 'dest'), structure, function(err) { /* done */ });
/*
- dest
- file1
- file2
- filesymlink1 (symlink to dir3/dir4/file1)
- dir1
