Node.js check if path is file or directory

Question

I can\'t seem to get any search results that explain how to do this.

All I want to do is be able to know if a given path is a file or a directory (folder).

Answer 1

Seriously, question exists five years and no nice facade?

function is_dir(path) {
    try {
        var stat = fs.lstatSync(path);
        return stat.isDirectory();
    } catch (e) {
        // lstatSync throws an error if path doesn't exist
        return false;
    }
}
