makefolder

Overview of the makefolder function.

Function definition

function makefolder(path: string): ()

Errors:

• Illegal Path

  • The path provided is considered 'unsafe'.

Remarks

If the provided path is nested inside of non-existing folders, makefolder will create all the folders up to path.

High-Level Overview:

Creates a folder at path.

Low-Level Overview:

pathis read from the luau heap, then utilising std::filesystem::is_directory we validate if the provided path (once sanitised) is pointing to a valid folder in the filesystem; if it is not, we create it using std::filesystem::create_directories, which allows for nested directories, even if they've not been created previously.
