const { exists, FILE, FOLDER, READABLE } = require('@kwsites/file-exists');
// check for a folder existing
assert(exists(__dirname, FOLDER));
assert(!exists(__filename, FOLDER));
// check for a file existing
assert(!exists(__filename, FILE));
assert(exists(__filename, FILE));
// when no type is specified, both folders and files are allowed
assert(exists(__dirname));
assert(exists(__filename));
// alternatively specify both files and folders
assert(exists(__dirname, FILE + FOLDER));
// or just that the path is readable (can be either a file or folder)

This library uses debug to handle logging,
to enable logging, use either the environment variable:
`
"DEBUG=@kwsites/file-exists" node ./your-app.js
Or explicitly enable logging using the debug library itself:
`javascript``
require('debug').enable('@kwsites/file-exists');
