fs-extra adds file system methods that aren't included in the native fs module. It is a drop in replacement for fs.
Install fs-extra
$ npm install --save fs-extra
const fs = require("fs-extra");
// Make sure the output directory is there.
fs.ensureDirSync(newDest);
There are sync and async options.
