Merge extfs with this repo

[ghost]

Hi,

Great work on this module, it really makes file/folder manipulation a lot easier.
I found myself having to check the existence of folders quite a lot, and I found the extfs module (https://github.com/marian2js/npm-extfs) perfect for this, but this module and extfs are kind of serving the same purposes, they even have common methods.
So I was wondering if you guys would like to merge (or to accept a PR that merges) extfs with fs-extra, especially as extfs looks like it's no longer maintained (it might not need to though).
Thank you,
Alvin

It looks like npm-extfs could be rewritten to depend upon fs-extra. I'm not interested in the methods in in npm-extfs though (isEmpty / getDirs()). My priority is to get fs-extra to 1.0.0.

I appreciate your interest though.

I personally would like to see isEmpty and isEmptySync make it into fs-extra.

@kruncher With fs-extra v3, you can just do:

fs.readdir('dir').then(arr => Promise.all(arr.map(path => fs.pathExists(path)))

@RyanZim "just" hehe, that seems quite verbose and prone to error.

I'd rather just do this:

if (fs.isEmptySync(path)) {
    console.log("The specified directory is empty!");
}

or:

fs.isEmpty(path).then(isEmpty => {
  if (isEmpty) {
    console.log("The specified directory is empty!");
  }
});

You can open a new issue requesting this for reconsideration, can't promise anything. Locking to prevent further noise on this old thread.
