Fixes jvilk#227. The first version of Node where FS functions accepted an options object was version 0.10. Between Node 0.10 and Node 6 inclusive, all falsy values (including the empty string) and functions are replaced with the default options. Only truthy values which are not strings, objects or functions throw a `TypeError`. Node 7 introduced a breaking change: only `null`, `undefined` and functions get replaced with the default options, and any values which are not strings or objects throw a `TypeError`. https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/7165/files#diff-9a205ef7ee967ee32efee02e58b3482dR39 It is not clear which version of the Node FS API is emulated by BrowserFS, so I have elected to implement the Node 7 behaviour.

The next major version of BrowserFS will clearly track a specific version of the NodeJS FS API. When starting this project (before Node hit 1.0), I had not anticipated that the fs API would continually evolve. I'll merge this in for now, while acknowledging that there are likely other Node 7-incompatible behaviors. |
