# create-temp-directory
[](https://www.npmjs.com/package/create-temp-directory)
[](https://github.com/AviVahl/create-temp-directory/actions/workflows/tests.yml)Create an empty, unique directory in the current OS's temp directory.
It returns an absolute `path` and a `remove()` function. Useful for tests.## Getting started
Install the library as a `devDependency` in an existing project:
```
npm i create-temp-directory --save-dev
```## Example usage
```ts
import { createTempDirectory, ITempDirectory } from "create-temp-directory";describe("test suite", () => {
let tempDir: ITempDirectory;beforeEach(async () => {
tempDir = await createTempDirectory();
});
afterEach(async () => {
await tempDir.remove();
});it("some test", () => {
const tempFilePath = path.join(tempDir.path, "temp-file");
// the rest of the test...
});
});
```_NOTE: The above example is written using TypeScript. In pure JavaScript, you do not need to import/use `ITempDirectory`._
