Append content to a file

Bun implements the node:fs module, which includes the fs.appendFile and fs.appendFileSync functions for appending content to files.

fs.appendFile asynchronously appends data to a file, creating the file if it does not yet exist. The content can be a string or a Buffer.

import { appendFile } from "node:fs/promises";

await appendFile("message.txt", "data to append");

To use the non-Promise API:

import { appendFile } from "node:fs";

appendFile("message.txt", "data to append", err => {
  if (err) throw err;
  console.log('The "data to append" was appended to file!');
});

To specify the encoding of the content:

import { appendFile } from "node:fs";

appendFile("message.txt", "data to append", "utf8", callback);

To append the data synchronously, use fs.appendFileSync:

import { appendFileSync } from "node:fs";

appendFileSync("message.txt", "data to append", "utf8");

See the Node.js documentation for fs.appendFile.
