Other packages similar to is-directory

fs-extra

fs-extra is an extension of the native 'fs' module in Node.js. It includes additional methods like 'ensureDir' which can be used to check if a directory exists and create it if it doesn't. This package offers more comprehensive file system operations compared to 'is-directory' which focuses only on directory checking.

node-dir

node-dir provides utilities for reading directories, files, and their paths. It can check if a path is a directory, but it also includes capabilities to read directories recursively, which is not a feature of 'is-directory'. This makes node-dir suitable for applications that require more than just directory checking.
