Node Asynchronous mkdir with full path

Question

I am currently using shell.js's mkdir -p in my node.js code which is synchronous. The '-p' is used in shell.mkdir to create a directory with a full path, something that fs.mkdir cannot do.

if(fs.existsSync(archivePath + "\\" + site + "\\" + year)){ // check if site folder exists
    console.log(archivePath + "\\" + site + "\\" + year + " exists");
}
else {
    console.log(archivePath + "\\" + site + "\\" + year + " does not exist... creating full path now");
    shell.mkdir('-p' , archivePath + "\\" + site + "\\" + year + "\\" + missionID);
}

If anyone knows of a way to get the asynchronous nature of fs.mkdir, and the recursive nature of shell.mkdir('-p', absolutePath), in one fell swoop please let me know.

Answer 1

So I figured out that I could just use mkdirp to do a directory with a full path via a promise.
