# outputFileSync(file, data, [options]) Almost the same as `writeFileSync` (i.e. it [overwrites](http://pages.citebite.com/v2o5n8l2f5reb)), except that if the parent directory does not exist, it's created. `file` must be a file path (a buffer or a file descriptor is not allowed). `options` are what you'd pass to [`fs.writeFileSync()`](https://nodejs.org/api/fs.html#fs_fs_writefilesync_file_data_options). - `file` `<String>` - `data` `<String> | <Buffer> | <Uint8Array>` - `options` `<Object> | <String>` ## Example: ```js const fs = require('fs-extra') const file = '/tmp/this/path/does/not/exist/file.txt' fs.outputFileSync(file, 'hello!') const data = fs.readFileSync(file, 'utf8') console.log(data) // => hello! ```
