Supervisor is a package for Node.js that monitors files in your app directory for modifications and reloads the app when a modification occurs.
This script interprets symbolic links as regular files and logs out a warning. I would like to fork Supervisor so that either this can be fixed entirely or that a more descriptive warning is produced.
How can I use the File System module of Node.js to determine if a given file is really an symbolic link?
You can use fs.lstat
and then call statis.isSymbolicLink()
on the fs.Stats
object that's passed into your lstat callback.
fs.lstat('myfilename', function(err, stats) {
console.log(stats.isSymbolicLink());
});
