temp-working-path.js

// node 14 tested
const fs = require('fs');
const os = require('os');
const path = require('path');

// this creates a random name directory within the OS temporary directory
const getWorkingPath = () => fs.mkdtempSync(`${os.tmpdir()}${path.sep}`);
// make sure to remove the whole path when finished
const removeWorkingPath = (path) => fs.rmSync(path, { recursive: true });

// how to use:
async function doSomeWork() {
  const workingPath = getWorkingPath();
  // --> do your stuff here within workingPath
  removeWorkingPath(workingPath);
}
