nodejs implementation of recursive directory creation (https://brunopedro.com/2010/12/15/recursive-directory-nodejs/)

mkdir_p.js

var fs = require('fs');

/**
 * Offers functionality similar to mkdir -p
 *
 * Asynchronous operation. No arguments other than a possible exception
 * are given to the completion callback.
 */
function mkdir_p(path, mode, callback, position) {
    mode = mode || 0777;
    position = position || 0;
    parts = require('path').normalize(path).split('/');

    if (position >= parts.length) {
        if (callback) {
            return callback();
        } else {
            return true;
        }
    }

    var directory = parts.slice(0, position + 1).join('/');
    fs.stat(directory, function(err) {
        if (err === null) {
            mkdir_p(path, mode, callback, position + 1);
        } else {
            fs.mkdir(directory, mode, function (err) {
                if (err) {

                        throw err;
                    }

another implementation using the latest fs & path

function mkdir(dir) {
    // we explicitly don't use `path.sep` to have it platform independent;
    var sep = '/';

    var segments = dir.split(sep);
    var current = '';
    var i = 0;

    while (i < segments.length) {
        current = current + sep + segments[i];
        try {
            fs.statSync(current);
        } catch (e) {
            fs.mkdirSync(current);
        }

        i++;
    }
}

const path = require('path');
const fs = require('fs');

const mkdirp = dir => path
    .resolve(dir)
    .split(path.sep)
    .reduce((acc, cur) => {
        const currentPath = path.normalize(acc + path.sep + cur);
        try {
            fs.statSync(currentPath);
        } catch (e) {
            if (e.code === 'ENOENT') {
                fs.mkdirSync(currentPath);
            } else {
                throw e;
            }
        }
        return currentPath;
    }, '');

const path = require("path");
const fs = require("fs");

function mkdirp(directory) {
  if (!path.isAbsolute(directory)) return;
  let parent = path.join(directory, "..");
  if (parent !== path.join("/") && !fs.existsSync(parent)) mkdirp(parent);
  if (!fs.existsSync(directory)) fs.mkdirSync(directory);
