Node.js · Junior · Question 35 of 75

How do you get a promise-based version of the `fs` API?

1fs.readFile already returns a promise if you omit the callback
✓Correct answer: import { readFile } from "node:fs/promises"
3import { readFileAsync } from "node:fs"

Explanation

fs/promises has the same functions that return promises, so you can write const text = await readFile(path, "utf8").
