使用util的异步/等待版本。从节点8开始承诺:

const fs = require('fs');
const { promisify } = require('util');
const stat = promisify(fs.stat);

describe('async stat', () => {
  it('should not throw if file does exist', async () => {
    try {
      const stats = await stat(path.join('path', 'to', 'existingfile.txt'));
      assert.notEqual(stats, null);
    } catch (err) {
      // shouldn't happen
    }
  });
});

describe('async stat', () => {
  it('should throw if file does not exist', async () => {
    try {
      const stats = await stat(path.join('path', 'to', 'not', 'existingfile.txt'));
    } catch (err) {
      assert.notEqual(err, null);
    }
  });
});

  fs.statSync(path, function(err, stat){
      if(err == null) {
          console.log('File exists');
          //code when all ok
      }else if (err.code == "ENOENT") {
        //file doesn't exist
        console.log('not file');

      }
      else {
        console.log('Some other error: ', err.code);
      }
    });

编辑: 从节点v10.0.0开始，我们可以使用fs.promises.access(…)

检查文件是否存在的异步代码示例:

function checkFileExists(file) {
  return fs.promises.access(file, fs.constants.F_OK)
           .then(() => true)
           .catch(() => false)
}

stat的替代方法可能是使用新的fs.access(…):

简化的短承诺函数检查:

s => new Promise(r=>fs.access(s, fs.constants.F_OK, e => r(!e)))

示例用法:

let checkFileExists = s => new Promise(r=>fs.access(s, fs.constants.F_OK, e => r(!e)))
checkFileExists("Some File Location")
  .then(bool => console.log(´file exists: ${bool}´))

扩大承诺方式:

// returns a promise which resolves true if file exists:
function checkFileExists(filepath){
  return new Promise((resolve, reject) => {
    fs.access(filepath, fs.constants.F_OK, error => {
      resolve(!error);
    });
  });
}

或者如果你想同步操作:

function checkFileExistsSync(filepath){
  let flag = true;
  try{
    fs.accessSync(filepath, fs.constants.F_OK);
  }catch(e){
    flag = false;
  }
  return flag;
}

2021年8月

读完所有帖子后:

let filePath = "./directory1/file1.txt";

if (fs.existsSync(filePath)) {
    console.log("The file exists");
} else {
    console.log("The file does not exist");
}

V6之前的旧版本: 下面是文档

  const fs = require('fs');    
  fs.exists('/etc/passwd', (exists) => {
     console.log(exists ? 'it\'s there' : 'no passwd!');
  });
// or Sync

  if (fs.existsSync('/etc/passwd')) {
    console.log('it\'s there');
  }

更新

V6的新版本:fs.stat的文档

fs.stat('/etc/passwd', function(err, stat) {
    if(err == null) {
        //Exist
    } else if(err.code == 'ENOENT') {
        // NO exist
    } 
});

异步等待风格的简洁解决方案:

import { stat } from 'fs/promises';

const exists = await stat('foo.txt')
   .then(() => true)
   .catch(() => false);
