> Make a directory and its parents if needed - Think `mkdir -p`


## Advantages over [`mkdirp`](https://github.com/substack/node-mkdirp)

- Promise API *(Async/await ready!)*
- Fixes many `mkdirp` issues: [#96](https://github.com/substack/node-mkdirp/pull/96) [#70](https://github.com/substack/node-mkdirp/issues/70) [#66](https://github.com/substack/node-mkdirp/issues/66)
- 100% test coverage
- CI-tested on macOS, Linux, and Windows
- Actively maintained
- Doesn't bundle a CLI


## Install

```
$ npm install --save make-dir
```


## Usage

```
$ pwd
/Users/sindresorhus/fun
$ tree
.
```

```js
const makeDir = require('make-dir');

makeDir('unicorn/rainbow/cake').then(path => {
	console.log(path);
	//=> '/Users/sindresorhus/fun/unicorn/rainbow/cake'
});
```

```
$ tree
.
└── unicorn
    └── rainbow
        └── cake
```

Multiple directories:

```js
const makeDir = require('make-dir');

Promise.all([
	makeDir('unicorn/rainbow')
	makeDir('foo/bar')
]).then(paths => {
	console.log(paths);
	/*
	[
		'/Users/sindresorhus/fun/unicorn/rainbow',
		'/Users/sindresorhus/fun/foo/bar'
	]
	*/
});
```


## API

### makeDir(path, [options])

Returns a `Promise` for the path to the created directory.

### makeDir.sync(path, [options])

Returns the path to the created directory.

#### path

Type: `string`

Directory to create.

#### options

Type: `Object`

##### mode

Type: `integer`<br>
Default: `0o777 & (~process.umask())`

Directory [permissions](https://x-team.com/blog/file-system-permissions-umask-node-js/).
