# path-exists [](https://travis-ci.org/sindresorhus/path-exists)
> Check if a path exists
NOTE: `fs.existsSync` has been un-deprecated in Node.js since 6.8.0. If you only need to check synchronously, this module is not needed.
While [`fs.exists()`](https://nodejs.org/api/fs.html#fs_fs_exists_path_callback) is being [deprecated](https://github.com/iojs/io.js/issues/103), 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 path-exists
```
## Usage
```js
// foo.js
const pathExists = require('path-exists');
(async () => {
console.log(await pathExists('foo.js'));
//=> true
})();
```
## API
### pathExists(path)
Returns a `Promise<boolean>` of whether the path exists.
### pathExists.sync(path)
Returns a `boolean` of whether the path exists.
