`recursive` option for `fs.rmdir`
fs.mkdir gained a recursive
option in 10.12 (providing alternative to the mkdirp
module) and I think the popularity of the rimraf
module speaks for itself that there is very high userland to justify having it on fs.rmdir
and it's variants too.
Examples of other languages implementing similar functionality are golang's os.RemoveAll
or python's shutil.rmtree
.
