detect-file

Detects if a file exists and returns the resolved filepath.

Install

Install with npm:

$ npm install --save detect-file

Install with yarn:

$ yarn add detect-file

Usage

var detect = require('detect-file');

API

detect

Detect the given filepath if it exists.

Params

filepath {String}: filepath to detect.
options {Object}: Additional options.
options.nocase {Boolean}: Set this to true to force case-insensitive filename checks. This is useful on case sensitive file systems.
returns {String}: Returns the detected filepath if it exists, otherwise returns null.

Example

var res = detect('package.json');
console.log(res);
//=> "package.json"

var res = detect('fake-file.json');
console.log(res)
//=> null

Case sensitive file systems

When using the nocase option, this library will attempt to detect the filepath with the following methods:

Try to read all files in the filepath using fs.readdirSync. If successful and filepath is a directory, return the filepath.
Try to read all files in the filepath's directory using fs.readdirSync. If successful, do case insensitive comparasions of the filepath to the files in filepath's directory.
