function Deno.close
close(rid: number): void
Deprecated
This will be removed in Deno 2.0. See the Deno 1.x to 2.x Migration Guide for migration instructions.
Close the given resource ID (rid
) which has been previously opened, such
as via opening or creating a file. Closing a file when you are finished
with it is important to avoid leaking resources.
const file = await Deno.open("my_file.txt"); // do work with "file" object Deno.close(file.rid);
It is recommended to define the variable with the using
keyword so the
runtime will automatically close the resource when it goes out of scope.
Doing so negates the need to manually close the resource.
using file = await Deno.open("my_file.txt"); // do work with "file" object
