How to check if a file (given by full path) exists? node js

Question

I thought I could do it with the 'fs' module, but i couldnt find the right function.

I believe this question has already been answered here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4482686/check-synchronously-if-file-directory-exists-in-node-js — James Corr, Jan 12 '12 at 20:11

fs = require('fs');        
fs.exists(path, function( exists ) {        
    console.log( ( exists  ? "File is there" : "File is not there" ) );         
});

See the documentation for the fs module, in particular the "stat" family of functions (stat, fstat, lstat, statSync, fstatSync, lstatSync).
