Known weaknesses

Each one links to the public issue, changelog or docs page it came from, where we have one.

1. 01

   Limited functionality for advanced use cases

   Tempy only provides basic functions for generating paths to temporary files and directories, lacking features such as automatic cleanup or custom naming conventions.

2. 02

   Small community and limited support

   The tool has a small user base and minimal documentation, which can lead to difficulties in finding solutions for encountered issues.

3. 03

   No built-in cleanup mechanism

   Tempy does not automatically clean up temporary files or directories, requiring developers to implement their own cleanup logic.

What it does well

• Generates paths to temporary files and directories

• Easy integration into Node.js projects

• Lightweight and dependency-free
