My advise is: try not to rely on dependencies when you can easily do it with few lines of codes

Here's what you're trying to achieve in 14 lines of code:

fs.isDir = function(dpath) {
    try {
        return fs.lstatSync(dpath).isDirectory();
    } catch(e) {
        return false;
    }
};
fs.mkdirp = function(dirname) {
    dirname = path.normalize(dirname).split(path.sep);
    dirname.forEach((sdir,index)=>{
        var pathInQuestion = dirname.slice(0,index+1).join(path.sep);
        if((!fs.isDir(pathInQuestion)) && pathInQuestion) fs.mkdirSync(pathInQuestion);
    });
};
