Path.isFile() method

Resolves to true when the path points to a regular file (also true for symlinks pointing to regular files).

Signature:

isFile(options?: {
        followSymlinks?: boolean;
    }): Promise<boolean>;

Parameters

Parameter	Type	Description
options	{ followSymlinks?: boolean; }	(Optional) Optional follow-symlink toggle.

Returns:

Promise<boolean>

Promise resolving to true when the path is a regular file.

Remarks

Follows symlinks by default; pass followSymlinks: false to interrogate the link itself.

Example

Skipping non-files during ingestion

import { Path } from "pathlib-ts";

const uploads = new Path("./uploads");
for (const entry of await uploads.iterdir()) {
  if (await entry.isFile()) {
    console.log("processing", entry.name);
  }
}
