Rotatelib is a tool meant to make it easier to deal with cleaning up or acting on files/things that have a date in the name.

Example

This example will remove items in the current directory that:

• start with the string "db"
• are from before 7 days ago
• ignoring the first item per day from the returned files.

var rotatelib = require('js-rotatelib');

var params = {
  directory: ".",
  startswith: "db",
  before: "-7 days",
  except_first: "day"
};

rotatelib
  .list(params)
  .then(function(items) {
    rotatelib.removeItems(items, params)
      .then(function() {
        var plural = items.length !== 1 ? 's' : '';
        console.log('Removed ' + items.length + ' item' + plural);
      });
  });
