Check if a file or directory exists in a given path.
fs.exists already does the job!Because fs.exists and fs.existsSync will be are deprecated and in some cases we still need them!
fs.exists()is an anachronism and exists only for historical reasons. There should almost never be a reason to use it in your own code. In particular, checking if a file exists before opening it is an anti-pattern that leaves you vulnerable to race conditions: another process may remove the file between the calls tofs.exists()andfs.open(). Just open the file and handle the error when it's not there.fs.exists()will be deprecated. (Source, emphasis added)
# Using npm
npm install --save is-there
# Using yarn
yarn add is-there
const IsThere = require("is-there");
// Sync
console.log(IsThere(`${__dirname}/contents/file`))
// => true
console.log(IsThere.directory(`${__dirname}/contents/dir`))
// Callback
IsThere.file(`${__dirname}/contents/not_found`, exists => {
console.log(exists)
// => false
})
// Promises
IsThere.promises.directory(`${__dirname}/contents/dir`).then(exists => {
console.log(exists)
// => true
}).catch(console.error)
There are few ways to get help:
Checks if a file or directory exists on given path. Use without the new keyword.
path: The path to the file or directory.callback: The callback function called with a boolean value representing if the file or directory exists. If this parameter is not a
function, the function will run synchronously and return the value.isThere function if the callback parameter was provided, otherwise a boolean value indicating if the file/directory
exists or not.isThere.directory(path, callback)Checks if the path exists and it is a directory.
path: The path to the directory.callback: The callback function called with a boolean value representing if the directory exists. If this parameter is not a
function, the function will run synchronously and return the value.isThere function if the callback parameter was provided, otherwise a boolean value indicating if the directory exists or not.isThere.file(path, callback)Check if the path exists and it is a file.
path: The path to the file.callback: The callback function called with a boolean value representing if the file exists. If this parameter is not a
function, the function will run synchronously and return the value.isThere function if the callback parameter was provided, otherwise a boolean value indicating if the file exists or not.isThere.promises()The promises interface.
It exports the following methods:

I open-source almost everything I can, and I try to reply to everyone needing help using these projects. Obviously, this takes time. You can integrate and use these projects in your applications for free! You can even change the source code and redistribute (even resell it).
However, if you get some profit from this or just want to encourage me to continue creating stuff, there are few ways you can do it:
Starring and sharing the projects you like :rocket:
—I love books! I will remember you after years if you buy me one. :grin: :book:
—You can make one-time donations via PayPal. I'll probably buy a coffee tea. :tea:
—Set up a recurring monthly donation and you will get interesting news about what I'm doing (things that I don't share with everyone).
Bitcoin—You can send me bitcoins at this address (or scanning the code below): 1P9BRsmazNQcuyTxEqveUsnf5CERdq35V6
Thanks! :heart:
If you are using this library in one of your projects, add it in this list. :sparkles:
