Path.touch() method

Create the file or update its timestamps with optional mode overrides.

Signature:

touch(options?: {
        mode?: number;
        existOk?: boolean;
    }): Promise<void>;

Parameters

Parameter	Type	Description
options	{ mode?: number; existOk?: boolean; }	(Optional) File creation behaviour flags (mode, existOk).

Returns:

Promise<void>

Promise that settles once the touch operation completes.

Remarks

Implements CPython semantics where existOk controls whether existing files are tolerated.

Example

Priming cache files asynchronously

import { Path } from "pathlib-ts";

const cache = new Path("./.cache/state.json");
await cache.touch({ existOk: true });
