fs-exists-sync

Drop-in replacement for fs.existsSync with zero dependencies. Other libs I found either have crucial differences from fs.existsSync, or unnecessary dependencies. See README.md for more info.

Install

Install with npm:

$ npm install fs-exists-sync --save

Usage

var exists = require('fs-exists-sync');

console.log(exists('.'));
//=> true
console.log(exists(process.cwd()));
//=> true
console.log(exists('README.md'));
//=> true
console.log(exists('foo.txt'));
//=> false
console.log(exists(''));
//=> false
console.log(exists());
//=> false

Why another "exists" lib?

I just want a simple replacement for fs.existsSync. Here is what I found:

• path-exists: Has dependencies to support a promises API
• fs-exists: async only
• file-exists: returns false if the path exists but is a directory.
• exists: nothing to do with fs.
