# @nodelib/fs.stat

> Get the status of a file with some features.

## :bulb: Highlights

Wrapper around standard method `fs.lstat` and `fs.stat` with some features.

* :beginner: Normally follows symbolic link.
* :gear: Can safely work with broken symbolic link.

## Install

```console
npm install @nodelib/fs.stat
```

## Usage

```ts
import * as fsStat from '@nodelib/fs.stat';

fsStat.stat('path', (error, stats) => { /* … */ });
```

## API

### .stat(path, [optionsOrSettings], callback)

Returns an instance of `fs.Stats` class for provided path with standard callback-style.

```ts
fsStat.stat('path', (error, stats) => { /* … */ });
fsStat.stat('path', {}, (error, stats) => { /* … */ });
fsStat.stat('path', new fsStat.Settings(), (error, stats) => { /* … */ });
```

### .statSync(path, [optionsOrSettings])

Returns an instance of `fs.Stats` class for provided path.

```ts
const stats = fsStat.stat('path');
const stats = fsStat.stat('path', {});
const stats = fsStat.stat('path', new fsStat.Settings());
```

#### path

* Required: `true`
* Type: `string | Buffer | URL`

A path to a file. If a URL is provided, it must use the `file:` protocol.

#### optionsOrSettings

* Required: `false`
* Type: `Options | Settings`
* Default: An instance of `Settings` class

An [`Options`](#options) object or an instance of [`Settings`](#settings) class.

> :book: When you pass a plain object, an instance of the `Settings` class will be created automatically. If you plan to call the method frequently, use a pre-created instance of the `Settings` class.

### Settings([options])

A class of full settings of the package.

```ts
const settings = new fsStat.Settings({ followSymbolicLink: false });

const stats = fsStat.stat('path', settings);
```

## Options

### `followSymbolicLink`

* Type: `boolean`
* Default: `true`

Follow symbolic link or not. Call `fs.stat` on symbolic link if `true`.

### `markSymbolicLink`

* Type: `boolean`
* Default: `false`

Mark symbolic link by setting the return value of `isSymbolicLink` function to always `true` (even after `fs.stat`).

> :book: Can be used if you want to know what is hidden behind a symbolic link, but still continue to know that it is a symbolic link.

### `throwErrorOnBrokenSymbolicLink`

* Type: `boolean`
* Default: `true`

Throw an error when symbolic link is broken if `true` or safely return `lstat` call if `false`.

### `fs`

* Type: [`FileSystemAdapter`](./src/adapters/fs.ts)
* Default: A default FS methods

By default, the built-in Node.js module (`fs`) is used to work with the file system. You can replace any method with your own.

```ts
interface FileSystemAdapter {
	lstat?: typeof fs.lstat;
	stat?: typeof fs.stat;
	lstatSync?: typeof fs.lstatSync;
	statSync?: typeof fs.statSync;
}

const settings = new fsStat.Settings({
	fs: { lstat: fakeLstat }
});
```
