Why error while dynamically creating directory in nodejs in ubuntu server?

Question

I am trying to create the directory in public/data folder to place my read data but Getting this error while creating the directory dynamically in nodejs.

Error: ENOENT: no such file or directory, mkdir './public/data/folder'
    at Object.mkdirSync (fs.js:753:3)
    at /home/ubuntu/New/routes/index.js:589:14
    at FSReqWrap.oncomplete (fs.js:141:20)

I have implemented my code like this by checking the folder exist or not and creating the folder when not exist using mkdirsync()

var dd = './public/data/'+ id;
 if (!fs.existsSync(dd)) 
        {
          fs.mkdirSync(dd,'0777', true);
          console.log("Directory Created!!");
      }

Directory Created!!

I think you should check if intermediate directories also exist because it is possible that public or public/data may not exist — Daniel Jee

mkdirSync accepts an option property recursive (default is false). Check out the guide

So you could use:

fs.mkdirSync('/dir1/dir2', { recursive: true });

This solved issue, Running the npm with root permission

Solution:

sudo npm install -g PACKAGE-NAME --unsafe-perm=true --allow-root

Please don't use root permissions.
