readFileSync.md

readFileSync(filePath, parsed)

Synchronously reads the entire file content. If parsed is true, attempts to parse the content as JSON. Useful for scripts where immediate, blocking access to file data is required.

Alias: readFileSync()

Parameters:

• filePath <string>
• parsed <boolean>
• Returns: <string> | <Object>

Example

const fs = require('fsmate');

const data = fs.readFile('example.txt');
console.log(data);

Use with second param parsed

const fs = require('fsmate');

const data = fs.readFile('package.json', true);

// File content will be parsed as JSON
console.log(data);
