> Detects if a file exists and returns the resolved filepath.

## Install

Install with [npm](https://www.npmjs.com/):

```sh
$ npm install --save detect-file
```

Install with [yarn](https://yarnpkg.com):

```sh
$ yarn add detect-file
```

## Usage

```js
var detect = require('detect-file');
```

## API

### [detect](index.js#L33)

Detect the given `filepath` if it exists.

**Params**

* `filepath` **{String}**: filepath to detect.
* `options` **{Object}**: Additional options.
* `options.nocase` **{Boolean}**: Set this to `true` to force case-insensitive filename checks. This is useful on case sensitive file systems.
* `returns` **{String}**: Returns the detected filepath if it exists, otherwise returns `null`.

**Example**

```js
var res = detect('package.json');
console.log(res);
//=> "package.json"

var res = detect('fake-file.json');
console.log(res)
//=> null
```

## Case sensitive file systems

When using the `nocase` option, this library will attempt to detect the filepath with the following methods:

1. Try to read all files in the `filepath` using `fs.readdirSync`. If successful and `filepath` is a directory, return the `filepath`.
2. Try to read all files in the `filepath`'s directory using `fs.readdirSync`. If successful, do case insensitive comparasions of the `filepath` to the files in `filepath`'s directory.
