@aibulat/isfile

Check whether a path exists and is a regular file. A directory resolves to false, not an error, and a missing path resolves to false rather than rejecting — only a genuine stat failure (a permissions problem, for example) rejects.

This is the leaf of the @aibulat dependency graph: fs, json, mark, naser and sendeml all build on it.

Install

npm install @aibulat/isfile

Signature

function isFile(path: string): Promise<boolean>;

Use

import isFile from "@aibulat/isfile";

const res = await isFile("filename.txt");

console.log(res);

Behaviour

Path	Result
an existing file	true
an existing directory	false
a path that is missing	false
unreadable parent dir	rejects with the stat error
