<Function>
const fs = require('fs-extra')
const dir = '/tmp/this/path/does/not/exist'
// With a callback:
fs.ensureDir(dir, err => {

// dir has now been created, including the directory it is to be placed in
})
// With Promises:
fs.ensureDir(dir)
.then(() => {
console.log('success!')
})
.catch(err => {
console.error(err)
})
// With async/await:
async function example (directory) {
try {
await fs.ensureDir(directory)
console.log('success!')
} catch (err) {
console.error(err)
