How to append to a file in Node?

Question

I am trying to append a string to a log file. However writeFile will erase the content each time before writing the string.

fs.writeFile(\'log.txt\'         


        

Answer 1

Try to use flags: 'a' to append data to a file

 var stream = fs.createWriteStream("udp-stream.log", {'flags': 'a'});
  stream.once('open', function(fd) {
    stream.write(msg+"\r\n");
  });
