points
In this article, we would like to show you how to check if file exists in Node.js.
Quick solution:
if (fs.existsSync(path)) {
// do some action
}
Practical example
In this example, we use fs.existsSync()
method inside try-catch
block to check if the file exists and print the result
in the console.
const fs = require('fs');
const path = './file.txt';
try {
if (fs.existsSync(path)) {
console.log("file exists");
} else {
console.log("file doesn't exist");
}
} catch (err) {
console.error(err);
}
