@dsl400 - BrowserFS emulates the NodeJS fs interface. As long as you've initialized your filesystems: https://jvilk.com/browserfs/2.0.0-beta/index.html

You can use a majority of the commands listed here: https://nodejs.org/api/fs.html

Also, there are a ton of examples online of how to use the NodeJS FileSystem API's. For some of the more basic commands, W3Schools has a good reference: https://www.w3schools.com/nodejs/nodejs_filesystem.asp

@jcoutch: Sorry to say that your advice did not work for me, and the documentation really feels like an afterthought. Maybe I did not initialize the filesystem correctly, but existsSync() does not seem to work for files created during a previous session and saved with the IndexedDB ...

@loic-meister-guild exists/existsSync were not implemented until recently with #334.

As for the question, jcoutch's advice should be applicable.
