Service methods/properties

tempDir

This is the value as derived by first considering if a tempDir value is specified in the config, failing that if a $TYMLY_TEMPDIR environment variable has been set… and if all else fails use the system temp dir (i.e. the value returned by os.tmpdir())

Properties

• tempDir string The root of Tymly’s temporary directory

• callback Function called with the absolute path to the dir that was created

    // Where fullPath would be something absolute, e.g:
    //   /temp/dir/some/subDir
