check (Windows) folder permissions using node js

Question

I need to know how to find the permission to write in a specified folder, using NodeJs. (for the current user).

I have tried with

fs.access(path,fs.W_OK,function(err){}) 

and

fs.accessSync(path,fs.W_OK). 

But, i am facing a TypeError, "Object has no method access".

I can do,

var stats = fs.statSync(path);

and get the details of a particular folder. Is there any method to find write permissions using the stats Object?

Any other solution is also appreciatable.

Thanks in advance..

Answer 1

You can examine the "mode" property of the returned object. The access permissions are as per traditional Unix access permissions, in groups of 3 bits.

var mode = fs.statSync(path).mode;
var writePermissions = mode & 0x92; // 010010010
