existsSync - node__fs.d.ts - Node documentation
function existsSync

Usage in Deno

```typescript import { existsSync } from "node:node__fs.d.ts"; ```
existsSync(path: PathLike): boolean
Returns `true` if the path exists, `false` otherwise. For detailed information, see the documentation of the asynchronous version of this API: [exists](../.././node__fs.d.ts/~/exists). `fs.exists()` is deprecated, but `fs.existsSync()` is not. The `callback` parameter to `fs.exists()` accepts parameters that are inconsistent with other Node.js callbacks. `fs.existsSync()` does not use a callback. ```js import { existsSync } from 'node:fs'; if (existsSync('/etc/passwd')) console.log('The path exists.'); ```

Parameters

path: PathLike

Return Type

boolean
