Tries to open a file using fs.openSync (only necessary with sync), fails gracefully if the file path does not exist on the file system. Since fs.existsSync has been deprecated, this can be used as an alternative.
Install with npm:
$ npm install try-open --save
See the node.js fs.open documentation for more details.
var fs = require('fs');
var tryOpen = require('try-open');
var fd = tryOpen('package.json', 'r');
//=> 17
// close the file
fs.closeSync(fd);
