Check if a file exists locally using JavaScript only

Question

I want to check if a file exists locally, where the HTML file is located. It has to be JavaScript. JavaScript will never be disabled. jQuery is not good but can do.

No need for an external library if you use Nodejs all you need to do is import the file system module. feel free to edit the code below: const fs = require('fs')

const path = './file.txt'

fs.access(path, fs.F_OK, (err) => {
  if (err) {
    console.error(err)
    return
  }

  //file exists
})
