File Organizer CLI Tool | Node.js Command Line Utility
This video demonstrates a Node.js command-line utility that I built as part of an internship assignment.
🔍 Problem Statement
Over time, my Downloads folder becomes cluttered with images, documents, videos, and other files, making it hard to find things quickly. Manually organizing files is time-consuming and repetitive.
💡 Solution
I created a CLI-based file organizer using Node.js standard libraries that:
Takes a folder path as input
Categorizes files based on their extensions
Automatically moves files into folders like Images, Documents, Videos, Audio, etc.
Works safely without prefetching or unnecessary memory usage
⚙️ Key Features
Built using Node.js (ES Modules)
Uses only standard libraries (fs, path)
Accepts folder path via command line
Converts relative paths to absolute paths
Handles errors gracefully
Simple, fast, and reusable
▶️ How It Works
User runs the command with a folder path
The program reads all files in the folder
Files are categorized based on extension
Category folders are created if needed
Files are moved into their respective folders
🧠 Design Decisions
Used synchronous file operations for simplicity and clarity
Stored only required data in memory
Focused on clean, readable code
CLI-based design to keep the tool lightweight and practical
