How to Write to a file in JavaScript

Writing a file in Javascript is as easy as using the built-in method fs.writeFile, and as such matches the read file method quite well

var fs = require("fs");
fs.writeFile("file.txt", "This is the new file content.", function (err) {
  if (err) {
    return console.log(err);
  }
  console.log("The file was saved!");
});

We require the fs package, and use it’s writeFile function to write the contents to the file.js file.

This method is async - there is a sync version as well.
