"ensure" methods would ensure some type of behavior. For example ensureDir(dir) would ensure that the dir exists. Or even better, ensurePath(path) would ensure that the file or directory exists. ensureDelete(path), ensureGone(path) or something similarly named would ensure that the path is deleted or does not exist.

Maybe these names:

  • ensurePathExists(path)
  • ensurePathNotExists(path)

but those feel a bit verbose.

Any ideas?

Maybe ensurePath(path, [exists])?

So, ensurePath(path, true) would ensure that it exists and ensurePath(path, false) would ensure that it does not exist? Although, I don't feel that the boolean arguments make it clear enough.

Other candidates:

  • ensureFile(filePath)
  • ensureDir(dirPath)
  • ensureDeleted(path) <-- either file or dir

ensureFile() will probably just be an alias for createFile().
