I need to know if a folder exists before creating it, this is because I store pictures inside and I fear that the pictures are deleted if overwrite the folder. The code I have to create a folder is as follows
$path = public_path().'/images'; File::makeDirectory($path, $mode = 0777, true, true);
how can I do it?

Answer
See: file_exists()
Usage:
if (!file_exists($path)) { // path does not exist }
In Laravel:
if(!File::exists($path)) { // path does not exist }
Note: In Laravel
$path
start frompublic
folder, so if you want to check'public/assets'
folder the$path
='assets'
