I've been reading and googling all over but I can't seem to find this simple answer.
I have a function that reads a file, but if the files doesn't exists it panics. What I want to do is a function that before reading, checks if the files exists, and if not, it creates an empty file. Here is what I have.
func exists(path string) (bool, error) {
_, err := os.Stat(path)
if err == nil {
return true, nil
}
if os.IsNotExist(err) {
return false, nil
}
return true, err
}
