fs-exists-nodeback

fs-exists-nodeback
==================


This Node.js module adds support for nodeback-style callbacks to fs.exists without breaking backward compatibility.

The “error-first” callback (also known as an "nodeback", “errorback”, “errback”, or “node-style callback”) has become
the standard for Node.js callbacks. One unfortunate exception to this is fs.exists(path, callback) function provided by Node.js core library.

The fs-exist-nodeback module polyfills fs.exists so that it remains backward compatible with the original Node.js callback
style while simultaneously adding transparent support for nodeback-style callback functions.

Internal system level features or functionality of fs.exists are not modified in any way.

Installation

``sh
$ npm install fs-exists-nodeback
`

Usage

`js
require('fs-exists-nodeback');
`

That's it! Now fs.exists supports nodeback-style callbacks while still remaining backward compatible with existing code.

Nodeback-style is supported:
`js
var fs = require('fs');

fs.exists('./', function (err, exists) {
if (err) return console.err(err);
console.log('exists: ' + exists);
});
`

Node.js original callback style is supported:
`js
var fs = require('fs');

fs.exists('./', function (exists) {
console.log('exists: ' + exists);
});
`

Compatibility

fs-exists-nodeback is compatible with Node.js and io.js version 0.8 or newer.

Travis CI tests are run for all released versions of Node.js.

Testing

`sh
$ npm test
`
