add mkdirSyncRecursive()

[neerolyte]

It'd be useful to have a mkdirSyncRecursive() in wrench that allowed creation of 'foo/bar' regardless of whether 'foo' existed ahead of time.

I'm certainly down to have one, but I don't have the free time at the moment to spare on getting this in (as simple as it actually may be). If anyone wants to fork/pull request, I'm happy to review and bring it in/push to NPM; otherwise, probably a week or two away.

I'll write a patch at some point if this becomes annoying enough :)

For now I figured it was just better to have the issue logged here, rather than randomly somewhere else (I wasn't expecting you to just write me a patch).

Cheers,
Dave

Here is my implementation of the function. Feel free to use it however you want.

var mkDirSyncRecursive = function mkDirSyncRecursive(path, mode) {
try {
console.log("Creating dir: "+path);
fs.mkdirSync(path, mode);
console.log("...created");
} catch(err) {
if(err.code == "ENOENT") {
console.log("path does not exists yet: "+path);
var slashIdx = path.lastIndexOf("/");
if(slashIdx > 0) {
var parentPath = path.substring(0, slashIdx);
mkDirSyncRecursive(parentPath, mode);
mkDirSyncRecursive(path, mode);
} else {
console.log("No more parent directory. Ending here with error." + err);
throw err;
}
} else if(err.code == "EEXIST") {
console.log("Directory already exists.");
return;
} else {
console.log(err);
throw err;
}
}
}

Thanks! Will get this in later tonight.

I missed tagging this commit with the issue number: 6e7dcba

Ah, you guys rock! Will get all this into the mainline repo soon; doing an apartment shuffle at the moment that's screwing with my coding time. >_<;

Hey! Thanks again for all of this; I've pulled it in and published a new version. Need to find time to write tests, augh...
