Last Updated :

The stats.isDirectory() method is an inbuilt application programming interface of the fs.Stats class which is used to check whether fs.Stats object describes a file system directory or not.
Syntax:
stats.isDirectory();
Parameters: This method does not accept any parameters.
Return: This method returns a boolean value, which is true if fs.Stats object describes a directory, false otherwise.
Below examples illustrate the use of stats.isDirectory() method in Node.js:
Example 1:
const fs = require( 'fs' );
fs.stat( './filename.txt' , (err, stats) => {
if (err) throw err;
console.log(stats.isDirectory());
});
fs.stat( './filename.txt' , (err, stats) => {
if (err) throw err;
if (stats.isDirectory()) {
console.log( "fs.Stats describes a "
+ "file system directory" );
} else {
console.log( "fs.Stats does not "
+ "describe a file system directory" );
}
});
|
Output:
false
fs.Stats does not describe a file system directory
Example 2:
const fs = require( 'fs' );
fs.stat( './' , (err, stats) => {
if (err) throw err;
console.log(stats.isDirectory());
});
fs.stat( './' , (err, stats) => {
if (err) throw err;
if (stats.isDirectory()) {
console.log( "fs.Stats describes a "
+ "file system directory" );
} else {
console.log( "fs.Stats does not "
+ "describe a file system directory" );
}
});
|
Output:
true
fs.Stats describes a file system directory
Note: The above program will compile and run by using the node filename.js
command and use the file_path correctly.
