# locate-path

> Get the first path that exists on disk of multiple paths

## Usage

Here we find the first file that exists on disk, in array order.

const files = [
	'unicorn.png',
	'rainbow.png', // Only this one actually exists on disk
	'pony.png'
];

(async () => {
	console(await locatePath(files));
	//=> 'rainbow'
})();
```
