							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								```sh
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								$ npm install --save detect-file
							 | 
						||
|

								 | 
							
								$ yarn add detect-file
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								```
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								## Usage
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								```js
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								var detect = require('detect-file');
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								```
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								## API
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								### [detect](index.js#L33)
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								Detect the given `filepath` if it exists.
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								**Params**
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								* `filepath` **{String}**: filepath to detect.
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								* `options` **{Object}**: Additional options.
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								* `options.nocase` **{Boolean}**: Set this to `true` to force case-insensitive filename checks. This is useful on case sensitive file systems.
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								* `returns` **{String}**: Returns the detected filepath if it exists, otherwise returns `null`.
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								**Example**
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								```js
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								var res = detect('package.json');
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								console.log(res);
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								//=> "package.json"
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								var res = detect('fake-file.json');
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								console.log(res)
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								//=> null
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								```
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								## Case sensitive file systems
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								When using the `nocase` option, this library will attempt to detect the filepath with the following methods:
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								1. Try to read all files in the `filepath` using `fs.readdirSync`. If successful and `filepath` is a directory, return the `filepath`.
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								2. Try to read all files in the `filepath`'s directory using `fs.readdirSync`. If successful, do case insensitive comparasions of the `filepath` to the files in `filepath`'s directory.

								### Running tests
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								Running and reviewing unit tests is a great way to get familiarized with a library and its API. You can install dependencies and run tests with the following command:
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								```sh
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								$ npm install && npm test
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								```
