fs-exists-sync
Advanced tools
Drop-in replacement for `fs.existsSync` with zero dependencies. Other libs I found either have crucial differences from fs.existsSync, or unnecessary dependencies. See README.md for more info.
The fs-exists-sync npm package provides a simple and synchronous way to check if a file or directory exists in the filesystem. It is a lightweight utility that wraps around the Node.js fs module's synchronous methods to offer a straightforward API for existence checks.
Check if a file exists
This feature allows you to check if a specific file exists at the given path. The function returns a boolean value indicating the existence of the file.
const exists = require('fs-exists-sync');
const fileExists = exists('path/to/file.txt');
console.log(fileExists); // true or falseCheck if a directory exists
This feature allows you to check if a specific directory exists at the given path. The function returns a boolean value indicating the existence of the directory.
const exists = require('fs-exists-sync');
const dirExists = exists('path/to/directory');
console.log(dirExists); // true or falsefs-extra is a popular package that extends the native Node.js fs module with additional methods, including both synchronous and asynchronous versions of file and directory existence checks. It offers more functionality compared to fs-exists-sync, such as copying, moving, and removing files and directories.
path-exists is another package that provides a simple way to check if a path exists. Unlike fs-exists-sync, path-exists offers asynchronous methods, making it more suitable for non-blocking operations in Node.js applications.
file-exists is a package that provides both synchronous and asynchronous methods to check if a file exists. It is similar to fs-exists-sync but offers more flexibility with its asynchronous API.

Install with npm:
$ npm install fs-exists-sync --save
var exists = require('fs-exists-sync');
console.log(exists('.'));
//=> true
console.log(exists(process.cwd()));
//=> true
console.log(exists('README.md'));
//=> true
console.log(exists('foo.txt'));
//=> false
console.log(exists(''));
//=> false
console.log(exists());
//=> false
I just want a simple replacement for fs.existsSync. Here is what I found:
false if the path exists but is a directory.fs.You might also be interested in these projects:
