Node FS ENOENT error - node.js

Question

I am trying to make this script create a directory, then write stuff in it. Simple XML dumps & stuff.
I cant get anything of FS to work. isDirectory, createDirectory, readFile, writeFile. My reading in another SO post suggested a lot of changes to fs.stat().
I already set the permissions for the folder, so it should not be having any permissions problem (Windows).
My 1st step in checking for previous files & creating new or opening them:
. . .
var logsDir = './logs/';
var logAccess = logsDir + 'stuff.log';
try { // The code says its an ENOENT
console.log(fs.statSync(logsDir))
if (!fs.statSync(logsDir).isDirectory()) {
fs.mkdirSync(logsDir);
}
} catch (e) {
console.error('Error ' + e.code);
}
try { // Another ENOENT
if (!fs.statSync(logAccess).isFile()) {
fs.writeFileSync(logAccess, 'die', 'utf8');
}
//data = fs.readFileSync(logAccess, 'utf8');
} catch (e) {
console.error('Error errors are dumb');
}
. . .

Answer 1

fs.stat(logsDir, function(err,stat){
try{
if(err)
{
var e = err.code;
throw e;
}
}
catch(e)
{
if(e == 'ENOENT')
{
fs.mkdir(logsDir);
}
else
{
console.log('Some other error ' + err.code);
}
}
});
fs.stat(logAccess, function(err,stat){
try{
if(err)
{
var e = err.code;
throw e;
}
}
catch(e)
{
if(e == 'ENOENT')
{
fs.writeFileSync(logAccess, 'die', 'utf8');
}
else
{
console.log('Some other error ' + err.code);
}
}
});

var fs = require('fs');
var express = require("express");
var app = express();
var logsDir = './logs/';
var logAccess = logsDir + 'stuff.log';
function directoryExits(logsDir){
try {
return fs.statSync(logsDir).isDirectory();
} catch (err) {
return false;
}
}
function fileExits(logAccess){
try {
return fs.statSync(logAccess).isFile();
} catch (err) {
return false;
}
}
var statsDir = directoryExits(logsDir);
var statsFile = fileExits(logAccess);
if(!statsDir)
{
fs.mkdirSync(logsDir);
console.log("Directory Created")
}
else
console.log('Directory already exists');
if(!statsFile)
{
fs.writeFileSync(logAccess, 'die', 'utf8');
}
else
console.log('File already exists');
app.listen(4000, function(){
console.log('Server running ');
});
