Node.js Filesystem I/O Checking if a file or a directory exists
Example
Asynchronously
var fs = require('fs');
fs.stat('path/to/file', function(err) {
if (!err) {
console.log('file or directory exists');
}
else if (err.code === 'ENOENT') {
console.log('file or directory does not exist');
}
});
Synchronously
here, we must wrap the function call in a try/catch block to handle error.
var fs = require('fs');
try {
fs.statSync('path/to/file');
console.log('file or directory exists');
}
catch (err) {
if (err.code === 'ENOENT') {
console.log('file or directory does not exist');
}
}
