Last release: 1 month ago

fs-extra is a Node.js utility that extends the native fs module with additional filesystem methods like copy, remove, move, and mkdirs, and it adds promise support to fs methods. It is intended as a drop-in replacement for fs, and it uses graceful-fs to help prevent EMFILE errors.

Recent updates

  • 11.3.5

    1 month ago

    fs-extra 11.3.5 is a bug fix release focused on link creation idempotency and timestamp preservation error handling. It adjusts file stat calls used by ensureLink/ensureSymlink and changes utimesMillis/utimesMillisSync so that the original futimes error is not masked by close errors, while also ensuring file descriptors are closed on sync error paths.

  • 11.3.4

    3 months ago

    Release notes were not provided for version 11.3.4. The code diff and changelog indicate this release contains a targeted bug fix for ensureSymlink and ensureSymlinkSync when using a relative srcPath, especially when the destination symlink already exists.

  • 11.3.3

    5 months ago

    Release 11.3.3 was published on 2025-12-18, but the publisher did not provide any release notes (content is missing). As a result, no changes, fixes, or migration details can be extracted or categorized from the provided information.

  • 11.3.2

    8 months ago

    fs-extra 11.3.2 updates the `copy()` implementation to address a spurrious unhandled promise rejection warning in some cases. The changelog attributes the change to issue #1056 and PR #1058, and the code diff shows the fix is implemented by introducing a shared async iterator concurrency helper.

  • 11.3.1

    10 months ago

    fs-extra v11.3.1 makes a Windows-specific fix related to how file identity is compared during move/moveSync, plus it updates documentation about Node.js v24+ behavior for deprecated fs constants. The code change primarily adjusts internal stat identity logic to correctly handle ino/dev values of 0n.

  • 11.3.0

    1/15/2025

    Release 11.3.0 adds promise support for newer Node fs APIs and refactors the copy/copySync directory traversal to use fs.opendir/fs.opendirSync, aiming for better performance and scalability. The publisher release_notes section was empty, but CHANGELOG.md in the repo documents these two main behavior changes.

    Features

  • 11.2.0

    11/28/2023

    fs-extra 11.2.0 focuses on performance, copying directory contents in parallel, and a broad internal refactor to async/await. The public API wrappers were updated accordingly across multiple modules (copy, move, ensure helpers, output-file, etc.).

    Features

  • 11.1.1

    3/20/2023

    Release 11.1.1 contains a targeted behavior change for fs-extra move operations when source and destination are on different devices. The code now instructs the underlying cross-device copy step to preserve timestamps, and the test suite was refactored to run these cross-device tests only when CROSS_DEVICE_PATH is provided.

    Features

  • 11.1.0

    11/29/2022
