Creates a directory object from a Path object. The path is either an absolute path, or it is a relative path which is interpreted relative to the directory in which the Dart VM was started.

Directory.fromPath(Path path);

Creates a directory object. The path is either an absolute path, or it is a relative path which is interpreted relative to the directory in which the Dart VM was started.

Directory(String path);

Creates a directory object pointing to the current working directory.

Directory.current();

Creates the directory with this name if it does not exist. Returns a Future<Directory> that completes with this directory once it has been created.

Future<Directory> create();

Synchronously creates the directory with this name if it does not exist. Throws an exception if the directory already exists.

void createSync();

Creates a temporary directory with a name based on the current path. This name and path is used as a template, and additional characters are appended to it by the call to make a unique directory name. If the path is the empty string, a default system temp directory and name are used for the template.

Returns a Future<Directory> that completes with the newly created temporary directory.

Future<Directory> createTemp();

Synchronously creates a temporary directory with a name based on the current path. This name and path is used as a template, and additional characters are appended to it by the call to make a unique directory name. If the path is the empty string, a default system temp directory and name are used for the template. Returns the newly created temporary directory.

Directory createTempSync();

Deletes the directory with this name. The directory must be empty. Returns a Future<Directory> that completes with this directory when the deletion is done.

Future<Directory> delete();

Deletes this directory and all sub-directories and files in the directories. Returns a Future<Directory> that completes with this directory when the deletion is done.

Future<Directory> deleteRecursively();

Synchronously deletes this directory and all sub-directories and files in the directories. Throws an exception if the directory cannot be deleted.

void deleteRecursivelySync();

Synchronously deletes the directory with this name. The directory must be empty. Throws an exception if the directory cannot be deleted.

void deleteSync();

Check whether a directory with this name already exists. Returns a Future<bool> that completes with the result.

Future<bool> exists();

Synchronously check whether a directory with this name already exists.

bool existsSync();

List the sub-directories and files of this Directory. Optionally recurse into sub-directories. Returns a DirectoryLister object representing the active listing operation. Handlers for files and directories should be registered on this DirectoryLister object.

DirectoryLister list([bool recursive]);

Rename this directory. Returns a Future<Directory> that completes with a Directory instance for the renamed directory.

If newPath identifies an existing directory, that directory is replaced. If newPath identifies an existing file the operation fails and the future completes with an exception.

Future<Directory> rename(String newPath);

Synchronously rename this directory. Returns a Directory instance for the renamed directory.

If newPath identifies an existing directory, that directory is replaced. If newPath identifies an existing file the operation fails and an exception is thrown.

Directory renameSync(String newPath);
