# mkdirp
Like `mkdir -p`, but in node.js!
[](http://travis-ci.org/substack/node-mkdirp)
# example
## pow.js
```js
var mkdirp = require('mkdirp');
mkdirp('/tmp/foo/bar/baz', function (err) {
if (err) console.error(err)
else console.log('pow!')
});
```
Output
```
pow!
```
And now /tmp/foo/bar/baz exists, huzzah!
# methods
```js
var mkdirp = require('mkdirp');
```
## mkdirp(dir, opts, cb)
Create a new directory and any necessary subdirectories at `dir` with octal
permission string `opts.mode`. If `opts` is a non-object, it will be treated as
the `opts.mode`.
If `opts.mode` isn't specified, it defaults to `0777`.
`cb(err, made)` fires with the error or the first directory `made`
that had to be created, if any.
You can optionally pass in an alternate `fs` implementation by passing in
`opts.fs`. Your implementation should have `opts.fs.mkdir(path, mode, cb)` and
`opts.fs.stat(path, cb)`.
## mkdirp.sync(dir, opts)
Synchronously create a new directory and any necessary subdirectories at `dir`
with octal permission string `opts.mode`. If `opts` is a non-object, it will be
treated as the `opts.mode`.
If `opts.mode` isn't specified, it defaults to `0777`.
Returns the first directory that had to be created, if any.
You can optionally pass in an alternate `fs` implementation by passing in
`opts.fs`. Your implementation should have `opts.fs.mkdirSync(path, mode)` and
`opts.fs.statSync(path)`.
# usage
This package also ships with a `mkdirp` command.
```
usage: mkdirp [DIR1,DIR2..] {OPTIONS}
Create each supplied directory including any necessary parent directories that
don't yet exist.
If the directory already exists, do nothing.
OPTIONS are:
-m, --mode If a directory needs to be created, set the mode as an octal
permission string.
