locate-path 6.0.0

The npm package "locate-path" helps in finding the first path from a given set of paths that exists on the disk. It checks the paths in array order and returns a promise that resolves to a string representing the first path that exists. This makes it extremely useful when dealing with files and directories in a JavaScript project.

To use "locate-path", first, you need to install the package using npm by running the command npm install locate-path. Once the package has been installed, you can import it into your JavaScript file using the import statement like this: import {locatePath} from 'locate-path';.

Here's a simple usage example of how to use "locate-path":

import {locatePath} from 'locate-path';

const files = [
	'unicorn.png',
	'rainbow.png', // Only this file exists on the disk
	'pony.png'
];

console(await locatePath(files));

In the above example, an array of file paths is given. The locatePath function will check the files in the order they appear in the array, and, since 'rainbow.png' exists on the disk, 'rainbow' will be logged to the console.
