Last release:

check-disk-space is a light, multi-platform disk space checker for Node.js that works on Linux, macOS, and Windows. It helps you measure free and total disk space for a given path or mounting point, with TypeScript support and no dependencies. Install via npm and use it to get diskPath, free, and size values (in bytes).

Recent updates

  • v3.4.0

    Version 3.4.0 makes the library fully asynchronous by removing synchronous child_process usage and switching internal checks to async/await. The release also adds stricter Node.js engine requirements (Node 16+), improves parsing by removing empty lines from command output, and adjusts packaging for explicit type exports and bundler compatibility.

    BreakingSecurity

  • v3.3.1

    Release 3.3.1 claims to add a fallback to `wmic` when PowerShell is not available, to avoid crashes. The code changes implement PowerShell availability detection more defensively, but they also introduce an internal API change and a new dependency injection point.

  • v3.3.0

    Release 3.3.0 focuses on restoring disk space checks on older Windows versions by falling back to wmic when PowerShell 3 is unavailable. The release notes describe a single fix related to determining when PowerShell 3 exists so that Get-CimInstance can or cannot be used.

  • v3.2.0

    Release 3.2.0 switches the Windows disk space collection implementation from using `wmic` to using PowerShell. The code diff indicates a single operational change in the Windows command used by `checkDiskSpace`, plus a small repo demo addition and version/package metadata updates.

  • v3.1.0

    Release 3.1.0 is intended to fix how the package can be imported or required by consumers. The release notes state that it now works correctly with both `import` and `require`.

  • v3.0.1

    This release rewrites the package in TypeScript and introduces generated declaration files. It also updates the implementation to address command execution safety and Windows drive letter case sensitivity.

  • 2.1.0

    Release 2.1.0 introduces TypeScript support by adding a bundled declaration file for the check-disk-space package. The update also adds a small TypeScript type test file and registers the typings entry in package.json.

    Features

  • 2.0.0

    Release 2.0.0 raises the minimum supported Node.js version. It now requires at least Node.js 8+, primarily due to development dependency updates for security reasons.
