javascript - What's the best way to overwrite a file using fs in node.js

Question

I'm trying to overwrite an existing file. I'm first checking if the file exists using:

fs.existsSync(path)

If file does not exit I'm creating and writing using:

fs.writeFileSync(path,string) 

The problem is when the file already exists and I want to over write all its contents. Is there a single line solution, so far I searched and found solutions that use fs.truncate & fs.write, but is there a one hit solution?

Answer 1

fs.writeFileSync and fs.writeFile overwrite the file by default, there is no need for extra checks if this is what you want to do. This is mentioned in the docs:

fs.writeFile

Asynchronously writes data to a file, replacing the file if it already exists.
