Node.js check exist file
How do i check the existence of a file ? In the documentation for the module fs there's a description of the method fs.exists(path, callback) . But, as I understand, it checks for the existence of only directories. And I need to check the file ! How can this be done? Fox Why not just try opening the file ? fs.open('YourFile', 'a', function (err, fd) { ... }) anyway after a minute search try this : var path = require('path'); path.exists('foo.txt', function(exists) { if (exists) { // do something } }); // or if (path.existsSync('foo.txt')) { // do something } For Node.js v0.12.x and higher Both
