I'm on Nuxt 2.15.4 and i wanna check in my store
codes if a file exist in nuxt directory by fs-extra
package.
it is simple in modules because i can get files path by this code:
const path = require('path')
const fse = require('fs-extra');
const FilePath = path.join(this.options.rootDir, './static/myfile.json')
const fse = require('fs-extra');
fse.pathExists(FilePath, (err, exists) => {
console.log(err) // => null
console.log(exists) // => true
})
but in vuex store
i dont have access to this.options.rootDir
and this code is always return false:
export const actions = {
async nuxtServerInit({dispatch, commit}) {
if(process.server){
const fse = require('fs-extra');
fse.pathExists('~/static/myfile.json', (err, exists) => {
console.log(err) // => null
console.log(exists) // => false
})
}
}
}
how can i get files fullpath or check if it exits??
#UPDATE
It looks like I had a little mistake in my file path so used ./static/myfile.json
and the check is done!!
but got another problem!! I have another json file, when I'm trying to use Object.assign(mainfile, myfile)
it won't work!!
here is a sample:
async nuxtServerInit({dispatch, commit}) {
let mainfile = require('../assets/mainfile.json')
// if i use assign here it works and merge them together
// let myfile = require('../assets/myfile.json')
// Object.assign(mainfile, myfile)
if(process.server){
const fse = require('fs-extra');
fse.pathExists('./static/myfile.json', (err, exists) => {
if(exists){
Object.assign(mainfile, myfile)
commit('SET_FILE', mainfile); // this send the unmerged file to mutation
console.log(mainfile); // but get the merged json here
}
})
console.log(mainfile); // it is unmerged
}
console.log(mainfile); // it is unmerged
}
Ok, thanks to @kissu I found out the problem. As kissu mentioned in his answer's comment, commit
is synchronous; I tried await action but didn't get the result; so I used pathExistsSync
instead and done!!
async nuxtServerInit({dispatch, commit}) {
let myfile = {}
let mainfile = require('../assets/mainfile.json')
if(process.server){
const fse = require('fs-extra');
if(fse.pathExistsSync('./static/myfile.json')){
myfile = require('../assets/myfile.json')
Object.assign(mainfile, myfile)
}
}
await dispatch('setMyFile', mainfile)
}
#Update
require('../assets/mainfile.json')
still throw error if file doesn't exist even with if(fse.pathExistsSync('./static/myfile.json'))
statement so:
async nuxtServerInit({dispatch, commit}) {
let myfile = {}
let mainfile = require('../assets/mainfile.json')
if(process.server){
const fse = require('fs-extra');
if(fse.pathExistsSync('./static/myfile.json')){
myfile = readJsonSync('./static/myfile.json')
Object.assign(mainfile, myfile)
}
}
await dispatch('setMyFile', mainfile)
}
