fs.exists()
is not an anti-pattern in itself. It becomes an anti-pattern when used in a particular way. Checking the existence of a file is quite useful when, for example, checking filesystem based locks or status files (of course, grabbing a lock is the same problem, and should usefs.open()
directly), and the documentation shouldn't be so narrow in its assumptions.
