dirExists

Category: Directory Operations

Namespace: web.directory.dirExists

Description

Checks whether a directory exists at the specified path.

Syntax

const exists = await web.directory.dirExists({
    dirPath: 'path/to/directory'
});

Parameters

• dirPath (required) - Directory path to check (relative or absolute)

Returns

Promise<boolean> - Returns a promise that resolves with true if the directory exists, false otherwise

Examples

Simple example

const exists = await web.directory.dirExists({
    dirPath: 'C:\\MyFolder'
});

if (exists) {
    console.log('Directory exists');
} else {
    console.log('Directory does not exist');
}

Create directory if it doesn't exist

const dirPath = 'output';
const exists = await web.directory.dirExists({ dirPath });

if (!exists) {
    await web.directory.createDir({ dirPath });
    console.log('Directory created');
} else {
    console.log('Directory already exists');
}

Use Cases

• Verify a directory exists before accessing it
• Check if a directory needs to be created
• Validate user-provided directory paths

Notes

• Returns false if the path exists but is a file, not a directory
• Relative paths are resolved from the application executable directory
• Does not throw errors - returns false for invalid or inaccessible paths
