How to check if a file exists in the Documents directory in Swift?

I am using [ .writeFilePath ] method to save an image into the Documents

For the benefit of Swift 3 beginners:

1. Swift 3 has done away with most of the NextStep syntax
2. So NSURL, NSFilemanager, NSSearchPathForDirectoriesInDomain are no longer used
3. Instead use URL and FileManager
4. NSSearchPathForDirectoriesInDomain is not needed
5. Instead use FileManager.default.urls

Here is a code sample to verify if a file named "database.sqlite" exists in application document directory:

func findIfSqliteDBExists(){

    let docsDir     : URL       = FileManager.default.urls(for: .documentDirectory, in: .userDomainMask).first!
    let dbPath      : URL       = docsDir.appendingPathComponent("database.sqlite")
    let strDBPath   : String    = dbPath.path
    let fileManager : FileManager   = FileManager.default

    if fileManager.fileExists(atPath:strDBPath){
        print("An sqlite database exists at this path :: \(strDBPath)")
    }else{
        print("SQLite NOT Found at :: \(strDBPath)")
    }

}
