Exists

Overview

Exists reports whether path exists.

If you are coming from Node.js, the closest pattern is fs.exists(path).

Signature

func Exists(ctx context.Context, path string) (bool, error)

Compare: Node.js · Standard Go · gox

Node.js

await fs.promises.access('path');

Standard Go

_, err := os.Stat(path)
exists := err == nil

gox

import "github.com/sahilkhaire/gox/fs"

ok, err := fs.Exists(ctx, "path")

Example

import "github.com/sahilkhaire/gox/fs"

ok, err := fs.Exists(ctx, "path")

Tips

Pass context.Context as the first argument so cancellation and deadlines propagate correctly.

Standard library alternative

Use the standard library directly:

_, err := os.Stat(path)
exists := err == nil
