Deno.makeTempDir - Deno documentation
function Deno.makeTempDir
allow-write
makeTempDir(options?: MakeTempOptions): Promise<string>
Creates a new temporary directory in the default directory for temporary files, unless `dir` is specified. Other optional options include prefixing and suffixing the directory name with `prefix` and `suffix` respectively. This call resolves to the full path to the newly created directory. Multiple programs calling this function simultaneously will create different directories. It is the caller's responsibility to remove the directory when no longer needed. ```ts const tempDirName0 = await Deno.makeTempDir(); // e.g. /tmp/2894ea76 const tempDirName1 = await Deno.makeTempDir({ prefix: 'my_temp' }); // e.g. /tmp/my_temp339c944d ``` Requires `allow-write` permission.
