# path-exists [![Build Status](https://travis-ci.org/sindresorhus/path-exists.svg?branch=master)](https://travis-ci.org/sindresorhus/path-exists)
> Check if a path exists
Because [`fs.exists()`](https://nodejs.org/api/fs.html#fs_fs_exists_path_callback) is being [deprecated](https://github.com/iojs/io.js/issues/103), but there's still a genuine use-case of being able to check if a path exists for other purposes than doing IO with it.
Never use this before handling a file though:
> In particular, checking if a file exists before opening it is an anti-pattern that leaves you vulnerable to race conditions: another process may remove the file between the calls to `fs.exists()` and `fs.open()`. Just open the file and handle the error when it's not there.
## Install
```
$ npm install --save path-exists
```
## Usage
```js
// foo.js
const pathExists = require('path-exists');
pathExists('foo.js').then(exists => {
console.log(exists);
//=> true
});
```
## API
### pathExists(path)
Returns a promise for a boolean of whether the path exists.
### pathExists.sync(path)
Returns a boolean of whether the path exists.
