How to detect path is folder/file

[zealous bluff]

I'm using Tauri - Svelte

[mint hill]

idk the proper way, but I'm just checking if the file has children

ig that wouldnt work for empty folders

you could check to see if maybe folders have an empty children array, whereas for files its undefined? Im not sure though

You can use the fs api

https://tauri.app/v1/api/js/fs/

Idk if it has the is folder function is on javascript though

Can what SurprisedPika wrote work ?

[limpid radish]

it's better to use fs

its what it meant to do

[zealous bluff]

I'm using fs, but fs dont detect for path, SurprisedPika method using fs and detect from entry.children

[zealous bluff]

incase its not clear i was also using fs

[zealous bluff]

My solution:

    function isFolder(entry){
      if (entry.children == undefined){
        return false;
      }
      else{
        return true;
      }
    }

Whatever 🤷‍♂️

[mint hill]

presumably they are using fs to get the entry

[limpid radish]

you literally have a function for that

the is_directory

[zealous bluff]

I don't find in docs

[limpid radish]

my bad

is the PATH thing in rust

not fs

@zealous bluff https://doc.rust-lang.org/stable/std/path/struct.Path.html#method.is_file

[zealous bluff]

I'm using frontend as Svelte/JS

[limpid radish]

just invoke the function then

[limpid radish]

or you dont know how to use them?

[zealous bluff]

I know how to use it, but I don't know how to link this function, the one my colleague wrote above worked and I don't need to do any additional code, if there is a method to link main.rs with Svelte you can write

you will need this sooner or later (probably)

Thanks, have a nice day 🙂
