# outputFile(file, data, [options], callback)
Almost the same as `writeFile` (i.e. it [overwrites](http://pages.citebite.com/v2o5n8l2f5reb)), except that if the parent directory does not exist, it's created. `options` are what you'd pass to [`fs.writeFile()`](https://nodejs.org/api/fs.html#fs_fs_writefile_file_data_options_callback).
**Sync:** `outputFileSync()`
## Example:
```js
const fs = require('fs-extra')
const file = '/tmp/this/path/does/not/exist/file.txt'
fs.outputFile(file, 'hello!', err => {
console.log(err) // => null
fs.readFile(file, 'utf8', (err, data) => {
console.log(data) // => hello!
})
})
```
