db.exists() no longer a function?

[maininformer]

Not sure what's going on, there is supposedly a db.exists but there isn't?

Documentation code

   1 Database = require("arangojs").Database;
   2 db = new Database();
   3 db.exists();

Output

/app/node/test.js:4
TypeError: db.exists is not a function

Many Thanks

It doesn't look like you're using arangojs 8.4.0 despite what the second snippet says. Can you check your node_modules/arangojs/package.json or your lockfile?

[maininformer]

I have moved to golang driver since. But you are correct, it is 5.8 which is strange since I used npm i iirc, expecting the latest.

Thank you for the confirmation.
