isFileHidden

Requires a Node.js runtime ('qsu/node')

Checks whether a file or folder in the specified path is a hidden file. Determines system hidden files for Windows and the presence or absence of a .(dot) for Linux and macOS or other operating systems.

If Windows fails to get the file properties, it assumes the file is not hidden.

Parameters

Name	Type	Required	Default
filePath	string	●	–
isWindows	boolean	–	false
Whether the target operating system to be checked is Windows

Returns

Promise:boolean

Examples

await isFileHidden('text.txt'); // false
await isFileHidden('.hiddenFile'); // true
await isFileHidden('.hiddenFile', true); // false (Files with no hidden attribute applied in Windows)

isFileHidden('text.txt') # False
isFileHidden('.hiddenFile') # True
isFileHidden('.hiddenFile', True) # False (Files with no hidden attribute applied in Windows)
