How to check if a folder exists before creating it in laravel?

See: file_exists()

Usage:

if (!file_exists($path)) {
    // path does not exist
}

In Laravel:

if(!File::exists($path)) {
    // path does not exist
}

Note: In Laravel $path start from public folder, so if you want to check 'public/assets' folder the $path = 'assets'
