This package makes simple file system operations available to WebPPL.

To globally install webppl-fs, run:

mkdir -p ~/.webppl
npm install --prefix ~/.webppl https://github.com/null-a/webppl-fs

This may print warnings (npm WARN ENOENT...) which can be ignored.

Once installed, you can make the methods described below available to program.wppl by running:

webppl program.wppl --require webppl-fs

Returns the entire contents of the file specified by filename as a string.

This is a wrapper around Node's fs.readFileSync.

Writes the string data to the file specified by filename. The file is overwritten if it already exists.

This is a wrapper around Node's fs.writeFileSync.

Creates a new directory and any necessary subdirectories at dir with octal permission string opts.mode. If opts is a non-object, it will be treated as the opts.mode.

If opts.mode isn't specified, it defaults to 0777 & (~process.umask()).
