s3 check if file exists node code example

Example: aws s3 check if file exists

Last time I saw performance comparisons getObjectMetadata was the fastest way to check if an object exists. Using the AWS cli that would be the head-object method, example:

aws s3api head-object --bucket www.codeengine.com --key index.html
which returns:
