Version Details and Security Vulnerabilities

FS-Extra is a powerful Node.js library that extends the standard fs module with useful file system operations, such as recursive directory creation (mkdir -p), file copying (cp -r), and removal (rm -rf). Version 2.0.0 refines this toolkit, building upon the solid foundation of version 1.0.0.

While both versions share the same core dependencies like jsonfile and graceful-fs, a key difference lies in the removal of the klaw dependency from the dependencies of version 1.0.0 to the devDependencies of version 2.0.0. This adjustment streamlines the production installation size, as klaw is primarily used for internal testing and development. The developer dependencies including testing and code quality tools such as mocha, rimraf, semver, istanbul, minimist, standard, coveralls, proxyquire, and secure-random remain consistent ensuring a stable development experience.

For developers considering an upgrade, FS-Extra 2.0.0 offers subtle improvements without introducing breaking changes, making it a seamless transition. New and existing users can leverage FS-Extra's enhanced functionalities for robust file and directory manipulation, simplifying complex file system tasks within their Node.js applications. The library's MIT license ensures flexibility and ease of integration into various projects. It empowers developers by abstracting away platform-specific complexities, offering a consistent API for cross-platform file system operations.
