Async fs.access (native, Node.js)

Use fs/promises.access and return a boolean.

import pathExists from 'path-exists'
import { access } from 'node:fs/promises'

const exists = await pathExists('/etc/passwd') 
const exists = await access('/etc/passwd').then( 
  () => true, 
  () => false
) 

Sync fs.existsSync (native, Node.js)

Added in v0.1.21: synchronous path/file existence check via fs.existsSync.

import pathExists from 'path-exists'
import { existsSync } from 'node:fs'

const exists = await pathExists('/etc/passwd') 
const exists = existsSync('/etc/passwd')

const path = '/path/to/package.json'
const exists = await pathExists(path) 
const file = Bun.file(path) 
const exists = await file.exists() // boolean
