从文档中可以看出，这是你异步(和递归)做这件事的方式:

const fs = require('fs');
const fsPromises = fs.promises;

fsPromises.access(dir, fs.constants.F_OK)
   .catch(async() => {
                await fs.mkdir(dir, { recursive: true }, function(err) {
                    if (err) {
                      console.log(err)
                    }
                  })
    });

对于个人dirs:

var fs = require('fs');
var dir = './tmp';

if (!fs.existsSync(dir)){
    fs.mkdirSync(dir);
}

或者，对于嵌套的dirs:

var fs = require('fs');
var dir = './tmp/but/then/nested';

if (!fs.existsSync(dir)){
    fs.mkdirSync(dir, { recursive: true });
}

使用fs-extra包，你可以用一行代码做到这一点:

const fs = require('fs-extra');

const dir = '/tmp/this/path/does/not/exist';
fs.ensureDirSync(dir);

如果子目录不存在，我必须创建子目录。我用了这个:

const path = require('path');
const fs = require('fs');

function ensureDirectoryExists(p) {
    //console.log(ensureDirectoryExists.name, {p});
    const d = path.dirname(p);
    if (d && d !== p) {
        ensureDirectoryExists(d);
    }
    if (!fs.existsSync(d)) {
        fs.mkdirSync(d);
    }
}

var dir = 'path/to/dir';
try {
  fs.mkdirSync(dir);
} catch(e) {
  if (e.code != 'EEXIST') throw e;
}

使用Node.js 10 + ES6:

import path from 'path';
import fs from 'fs';

(async () => {
  const dir = path.join(__dirname, 'upload');

  try {
    await fs.promises.mkdir(dir);
  } catch (error) {
    if (error.code === 'EEXIST') {
      // Something already exists, but is it a file or directory?
      const lstat = await fs.promises.lstat(dir);

      if (!lstat.isDirectory()) {
        throw error;
      }
    } else {
      throw error;
    }
  }
})();
