# Check if a file exists

The `Bun.file()` function accepts a path and returns a `BunFile` instance. Use the `.exists()` method to check if a file exists at the given path.

```ts index.ts icon="https://mintcdn.com/bun-1dd33a4e-farm-153748d0-sqlite-bind-column-cache-fixes/YdClCW0JYijHyS9h/icons/typescript.svg?fit=max&auto=format&n=YdClCW0JYijHyS9h&q=85&s=3d263a69b234b707ede6efa6aab5adf5" theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"dracula"}}
const path = "/path/to/package.json";
const file = Bun.file(path);

await file.exists(); // boolean;
```
