node.js Write file with directories?

Question

If I use fs.writeFile I get:

Error: ENOENT, No such file or directory

I think that's because the directories that houses the file doesn't exist.

Am I supposed to use fs.mkdir first or is there something else?

Thanks.

Node.js lacks a recursive directory creator in the core API.

Someone is yet to make something equivalent to Perl's File::Path, but here's at least a recursive creator in Node:

Edit:
This is probably easier to use: https://github.com/bpedro/node-fs
