# 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'
 | 
						|
// Promise usage:
 | 
						|
fs.pathExists(file)
 | 
						|
  .then(exists => console.log(exists)) // => false
 | 
						|
// Callback usage:
 | 
						|
fs.pathExists(file, (err, exists) => {
 | 
						|
  console.log(err) // => null
 | 
						|
  console.log(exists) // => false
 | 
						|
})
 | 
						|
```
