touch / touchSync was removed ?

[maboiteaspam]

hi,

i don t really get why touch / touchSync methods was removed.

I was looking for this, and found out, the change log says it was recently removed.
https://github.com/jprichardson/node-fs-extra/search?q=touch&type=Code&utf8=%E2%9C%93

I ll fallback to https://github.com/isaacs/node-touch but seems weird we don t have it in fs-extra as it s kind of common usage.

Besides that, Thanks for this package !

Sorry, should have documented the "why" - that's arguably the most
important. It was removed because they didn't handle permissions like UNIX
touch does. So they were appropriately renamed to createFile/createFileSync
and ensureFile/ensureFileSync (both are the exact same). touch/touchSync
will probably come back, but with permission handling.

Hi,

ok i ll check this. I needed to touch existing file. Not sure yet methods ensureFile will fill the job.

Thanks again!

touch() was renamed to createFile() and an alias to createFile() was setup as ensureFile(). So if touch() did what you wanted then ensureFile()/createFile() would as well since they are exactly the same.
