Check if a path exists
npm install path-exists> Check if a path exists
NOTE: fs.existsSync has been un-deprecated in Node.js since 6.8.0. If you only need to check synchronously, this module is not needed.
Never use this before handling a file though:
> In particular, checking if a file exists before opening it is an anti-pattern that leaves you vulnerable to race conditions: another process may remove the file between the calls to fs.exists() and fs.open(). Just open the file and handle the error when it's not there.

$ npm install path-exists
`js
// foo.js
import {pathExists} from 'path-exists';
console.log(await pathExists('foo.js'));
//=> true
`
Returns a Promise of whether the path exists.
Returns a boolean` of whether the path exists.
