								# pathExists(file[, callback])
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								Test whether or not the given path exists by checking with the file system. Like [`fs.exists`](https://nodejs.org/api/fs.html#fs_fs_exists_path_callback), but with a normal callback signature (err, exists). Uses `fs.access` under the hood.
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								- `file` `<String>`
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								- `callback` `<Function>`
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								## Example:
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								```js
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								const fs = require('fs-extra')
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								const file = '/tmp/this/path/does/not/exist/file.txt'
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								// With a callback:
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								fs.pathExists(file, (err, exists) => {
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								  console.log(err) // => null
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								  console.log(exists) // => false
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								})
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								// Promise usage:
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								fs.pathExists(file)
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								  .then(exists => console.log(exists)) // => false
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								// With async/await:
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								async function example (f) {
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								  const exists = await fs.pathExists(f)
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								  console.log(exists) // => false
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								}
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								example(file)
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								```
