Test whether or not the given path exists by checking with the file system. Like fs.exists
, but with a normal callback signature (err, exists). Uses fs.access
under the hood.
file
<String>
callback
<Function>
err
<Error>
exists
<boolean>
const fs = require('fs-extra')
const file = '/tmp/this/path/does/not/exist/file.txt'
// With a callback:
fs.pathExists(file, (err, exists) => {
console.log(err) // => null
console.log(exists) // => false
})
// Promise usage:
fs.pathExists(file)
.then(exists => console.log(exists)) // => false
// With async/await:
async function example (f) {
const exists = await fs.pathExists(f)
console.log(exists) // => false
}
example(file)
