Using fs promises in Node.js provides modern asynchronous file system operations with async/await syntax, eliminating callback hell and enabling cleaner error handling patterns. As the creator of CoreUI, a widely used open-source UI library, I’ve implemented fs promises in countless Node.js applications for file processing, build systems, and content management with much cleaner and more maintainable code. From my expertise, the most effective approach is importing fs promises and using async/await with proper try/catch error handling. This method provides modern asynchronous file operations with clean syntax and comprehensive error management.
