How to check if a database exists with CouchDB Nano

Question

I need to check if a given database exists before querying it. I've looked at this question, but I cannot replicate on Node.js using CouchDB Nano.

Does anyone know how to check it using the Nano library?

I just find out there is an API to list al the databases from a given CouchDB server: https://github.com/apache/couchdb-nano#nanodblistcallback

My bad.

You can also use [nano.db.info](https://github.com/apache/couchdb-nano#nanodbinfocallback) and check for the "not found" error if you're looking for a specific database by name. – Dominic Barnes May 09 '19 at 07:13
