solved Default Icon when path does not match

[Kalaschnik]

I am iterating over an array, and within my map method, I want to check if the icon file exists (because it is okay if they don't). However, I cannot get this file checking to work. I also tried most other file existence methods: https://byby.dev/node-check-if-file-exists

 

.map((element) => {
  let iconPath = 'icon.png';
  // Check if the file or path exists
  if (fs.existsSync(iconPath)) {
    iconPath = `${__dirname}/simple-icons/${element.name.toLowerCase()}.svg`;
  }

  return {
    title: `${element.display} (${element.name}) [${element.key}]`,
    subtitle: `${element.address.name}, ${element.address.line1}, ${element.address.line2}, ${element.address.contacts}, ${element.address.country}`,
    arg: element.key,
    icon: { path: iconPath },
    autocomplete: element.key,
    valid: false,
  };
  });

 

 

Is there maybe something already implemented to use a fallback icon, if the path has no target?

icon.png is the default icon. That’s the image the workflow stores as its icon. You can delete icon: { path: iconPath }, entirely and it will be used.

But I want to conditionally overwrite icon.png with an icon that exists. If I delete icon: { path: iconPath }, I would have no chance to show custom-icon.png

 

For example, right now my results look like this:

 

Since I only got the tesla icon in: simple-icons/tesla.svg (see if condition above), I see the tesla icon, however the other icons should have the icon.png

Your code looks reversed. What you seem to be doing is setting a default icon which will always exist, then saying “if icon.png exists (which it will) replace it with something else”.

What you should do is set the alternative icon first, and if that does not exist, use icon.png. Something like (untested):

 

const elementIcon = `${__dirname}/simple-icons/${element.name.toLowerCase()}.svg`
const iconPath = fs.existsSync(elementIcon) ? elementIcon : "icon.png"
