node path

This is a browser-friendly polyfill for the Node.js path module. Unlike other polyfills like path-browserify, this is not a re-implementation, but a source code copy of the original Node.js path module (state commit 818c10e86d9c44b7e99197a0983ba143754474be). This ensures that win32 is supported properly.

platform, cwd, and env

The path module relies upon the process.platform, process.cwd(), and process.env variables. Those are obviously not present in the browser, so this package uses a shim for those. It works as follows:

• process.platform:
  • If globalThis.process.platform is a string, return it.
  • If globalThis.navigator.userAgent indicates a Windows platform, return 'win32'.
  • Otherwise, return 'linux'.
• process.cwd():
  • If globalThis.process.cwd is a function, run it and return its result.
  • If the shim for process.platform is 'win32', return 'C:\\'.
  • Otherwise, return '/'.
• process.env:
  • If globalThis.process.env is an object, return it.
  • Otherwise, return an empty object.
