sindresorhus/path-exists

GitHub
1 watchersOpen source

Last release: 8/12/2021

A small Node.js utility that checks whether a filesystem path exists. It provides both async (Promise<boolean>) and sync (boolean) APIs, but the README notes it is not needed if you only rely on the built-in fs.existsSync and warns about race conditions when using existence checks before opening files.

Project status

  • The source appears largely stable after the major changes, with the most recent published update being v5.0.0 on 2021-08-12, and the last upstream push on 2022-03-03 (it is not clear from the provided evidence whether there were further published updates after v5.0.0).
  • Update cadence looks low, with major updates spanning several years (v4.0.0 in 2019, then v5.0.0 in 2021), suggesting infrequent but deliberate changes rather than continuous iteration.
