Create a file in TideSDK

I am creating an application with TideSDK and will need to create files for the projects. However I cannot find any way to create a file. On the API docs I saw the function createDirectory(). Will that create a file? If not, what will?

Or am I going about this the wrong way? Should I be storing the data for the projects in an SQLite database? I'm lost, please help.

PS. If anyone knows a good tutorial on the Filesystem in TideSDK that would be extremely helpful.

Solution 
  • //Doesnt have to exist yet.
var fileHandle = Ti.Filesystem.getFile('/path/to/file');
fileHandle.write('data');

    You can see a real-world usage example here:
