how to use the pathexistssync function from fs-extra in javascript

To use the pathExistsSync function from the fs-extra package in JavaScript, you need to follow these steps:

  1. First, install the fs-extra package by running the following command in your terminal:
npm install fs-extra

2 lines
  1. Import the fs-extra module at the top of your file.
index.tsx
const fs = require('fs-extra');
32 chars
2 lines
  1. Now you can use the pathExistsSync function to check if a file or directory exists synchronously.
index.tsx
const path = '/path/to/your/file_or_directory';

if (fs.pathExistsSync(path)) {
  console.log('File or directory exists');
} else {
  console.log('File or directory does not exist');
}

8 lines

In the code above, the path variable holds the path of the file or directory that you want to check for existence. Then, the if...else statement checks if the path exists or not using the pathExistsSync function. If the path exists, it logs a message saying that the file or directory exists. Otherwise, it logs a message saying that the file or directory does not exist.
