This Node.js script automates the organization of files within a specified directory by grouping them into subdirectories based on their file extensions.
- Define Folder Path: Utilizes
path.join(__dirname, "Organise Files")to set the target folder path. - Check Folder Existence: Employs
fs.access()to verify the existence of the folder. If it doesn't exist,fs.mkdir()is invoked to create it. - Read Files: Calls
fs.readdir()to read the contents of the folder. - Extract File Extension: Uses
path.extname(file).slice(1)to obtain the file extension from each file. - Create and Move Files: If an extension is present, the script creates a new directory named after the extension (in uppercase) using
fs.mkdir(), and moves the file into this directory withfs.rename().
- Automated Organization: Files are automatically sorted into extension-based folders, making it easier to manage and locate files.
- Time-Saving: Reduces the manual effort required to organize a large number of files.
- Customizable: The script can be modified to suit different organizational preferences or directory structures.
To use this script, simply run it in a Node.js environment. Ensure that you have Node.js installed on your system and that the script has the necessary permissions to read from and write to the file system.
