In this article, we would like to show you how to get file stats in Node.js.
1. Import fs module in your project
xxxxxxxxxx1
const fs = require('fs');2. Use fs.stat() to get the file stats.
In the example below, we print in the console example stats for .txt file with a callback function specified as fs.stat() method second argument.
xxxxxxxxxx1
const fs = require('fs');2
3
fs.stat('./file.txt', (err, stats) => {4
if (err) {5
console.error(err);6
return;7
}8
9
console.log('isFile: ' + stats.isFile()); //true10
console.log('isDirectory: ' + stats.isDirectory()); //false11
console.log('isSymbolicLink: ' + stats.isSymbolicLink()); //false12
console.log('size: ' + stats.size); // size in bytes13
});Example output for file.txt:
xxxxxxxxxx1
isFile: true2
isDirectory: false3
isSymbolicLink: false4
size: 4
