Deprecate fs.exists or fix its API #103
Comments
Yes! Option 1 is my vote. This is a tiny black spot on the Node fs API. |
+1 for deprecating. This was already being discussed in nodejs/node-v0.x-archive#8418. |
+1 on option 1. |
👍 for deprecating |
Sounds reasonable. @cjihrig Go for it. |
@cjihrig yes please! The fix looks pretty solid and so far everyone is for deprecating it. |
@cjihrig 👍 here |

Awesome news :) Thanks a ton. |
I am sad at this deprecation. |

fs.exists is being deprecated, see: nodejs/node#103.

Because I don't want to open the file. |
Please see: #1592 |
fs.exists
is infamous for having an inconsistent non-nodeback API that confuses new users often and can be a pain spot.I see two good alternatives:
fs.stat
instead + discuss the inherent problem with usingexists
(race condition). Add a big warning. Optionallyconsole.log
a deprecation notice when the server is first started.Personally I'm for the first. Let's clean up
