最好的解决方案是使用名为node-fs-extra的npm模块。它有一个名为mkdir的方法，用于创建您提到的目录。如果您给出一个较长的目录路径，它将自动创建父文件夹。这个模块是npm模块fs的超集，所以如果你添加了这个模块，你也可以使用fs中的所有函数。

不，原因有很多。

The path module does not have an exists/existsSync method. It is in the fs module. (Perhaps you just made a typo in your question?) The documentation explicitly discourage you from using exists. fs.exists() is an anachronism and exists only for historical reasons. There should almost never be a reason to use it in your own code. In particular, checking if a file exists before opening it is an anti-pattern that leaves you vulnerable to race conditions: another process may remove the file between the calls to fs.exists() and fs.open(). Just open the file and handle the error when it's not there. Since we're talking about a directory rather than a file, this advice implies you should just unconditionally call mkdir and ignore EEXIST. In general, you should avoid the *Sync methods. They're blocking, which means absolutely nothing else in your program can happen while you go to the disk. This is a very expensive operation, and the time it takes breaks the core assumption of node's event loop. The *Sync methods are usually fine in single-purpose quick scripts (those that do one thing and then exit), but should almost never be used when you're writing a server: your server will be unable to respond to anyone for the entire duration of the I/O requests. If multiple client requests require I/O operations, your server will very quickly grind to a halt. The only time I'd consider using *Sync methods in a server application is in an operation that happens once (and only once), at startup. For example, require actually uses readFileSync to load modules. Even then, you still have to be careful because lots of synchronous I/O can unnecessarily slow down your server's startup time. Instead, you should use the asynchronous I/O methods.

所以如果我们把这些建议放在一起，我们会得到这样的结果:

function ensureExists(path, mask, cb) {
    if (typeof mask == 'function') { // Allow the `mask` parameter to be optional
        cb = mask;
        mask = 0o744;
    }
    fs.mkdir(path, mask, function(err) {
        if (err) {
            if (err.code == 'EEXIST') cb(null); // Ignore the error if the folder already exists
            else cb(err); // Something else went wrong
        } else cb(null); // Successfully created folder
    });
}

我们可以这样使用它:

ensureExists(__dirname + '/upload', 0o744, function(err) {
    if (err) // Handle folder creation error
    else // We're all good
});

当然，这并不能解释边缘情况，比如

如果在程序运行时删除文件夹会发生什么?(假设在启动过程中只检查它是否存在一次) 如果文件夹已经存在，但是权限错误，会发生什么?

Use:

var filessystem = require('fs');
var dir = './path/subpath/';

if (!filessystem.existsSync(dir))
{
    filessystem.mkdirSync(dir);
}
else
{
    console.log("Directory already exist");
}

我的解决方案

CommonJS

var fs = require("fs");

var dir = __dirname + '/upload';

// if (!fs.existsSync(dir)) {
//   fs.mkdirSync(dir);
// }

if (!fs.existsSync(dir)) {
  fs.mkdirSync(dir, {
    mode: 0o744,
  });
  // mode's default value is 0o744
}

ESM

更新包。json配置

{
  //...
  "type": "module",
  //...
}

import fs from "fs";
import path from "path";

// create one custom `__dirname`, because it not exist in es-module env ⚠️
const __dirname = path.resolve();

const dir = __dirname + '/upload';

if (!fs.existsSync(dir)) {
  fs.mkdirSync(dir);
}

// OR
if (!fs.existsSync(dir)) {
  fs.mkdirSync(dir, {
    mode: 0o744,
  });
  // mode's default value is 0o744
}

异步执行此操作的函数(从使用同步函数的SO上的类似答案调整，我现在找不到)

// ensure-directory.js
import { mkdir, access } from 'fs'

/**
 * directoryPath is a path to a directory (no trailing file!)
 */
export default async directoryPath => {
  directoryPath = directoryPath.replace(/\\/g, '/')

  // -- preparation to allow absolute paths as well
  let root = ''
  if (directoryPath[0] === '/') {
    root = '/'
    directoryPath = directoryPath.slice(1)
  } else if (directoryPath[1] === ':') {
    root = directoryPath.slice(0, 3) // c:\
    directoryPath = directoryPath.slice(3)
  }

  // -- create folders all the way down
  const folders = directoryPath.split('/')
  let folderPath = `${root}`
  for (const folder of folders) {
    folderPath = `${folderPath}${folder}/`

    const folderExists = await new Promise(resolve =>
      access(folderPath, error => {
        if (error) {
          resolve(false)
        }
        resolve(true)
      })
    )

    if (!folderExists) {
      await new Promise((resolve, reject) =>
        mkdir(folderPath, error => {
          if (error) {
            reject('Error creating folderPath')
          }
          resolve(folderPath)
        })
      )
    }
  }
}

var dir = 'path/to/dir';
try {
  fs.mkdirSync(dir);
} catch(e) {
  if (e.code != 'EEXIST') throw e;
}
