fs SyncSafe

A wrapper around fs.readFileSync that captures the exception and returns an empty string if file is not found, also logs the exception to a error log object or console.log if an error log object is not injected.

It also converts a buffer into a string.

Why?

This is primarily good for reading files for configuration purposes, like ssl certs, and any other dynamically placed config file by your server automation.

Install

npm install fs-syncsafe

API

function ss(name, [logfn]) return [string|empty]

Usage

var ss = require('fs-syncsafe');
 
var foo = ss('./README.md');
console.log(foo);
