Visulima path
Drop-in replacement of the Node.js's path module.
Daniel Bannert's open source work is supported by the community on GitHub Sponsors
Why
For historical reasons, windows followed MS-DOS and using backslash for separating paths rather than slash used for macOS, Linux, and other Posix operating systems. Nowadays, Windows supports both Slash and Backslash for paths. Node.js's built in path
module in the default operation of the path module varies based on the operating system on which a Node.js application is running. Specifically, when running on a Windows operating system, the path module will assume that Windows-style paths are being used. This makes inconsistent code behavior between Windows and POSIX.
Compared to popular upath, pathe is providing identical exports of Node.js with normalization on all operations and written in modern ESM/Typescript and has no dependency on Node.js!
Install
npm install @visulima/path
yarn add @visulima/path
pnpm add @visulima/path
Usage
import { resolve } from "@visulima/path";
import path from "@visulima/path";
const { resolve } = require("@visulima/path");
const path = require("@visulima/path");
Check https://nodejs.org/api/path.html about the exported functions.
Note: path.win32 and path.posix are not exported.
@visulima/path
exports some extra utilities that do not exist in standard Node.js path module.
In order to use them, you can import from @visulima/path/utils
subpath:
import { filename, normalizeAliases, resolveAlias, reverseResolveAlias, isRelative, isBinaryPath, toPath } from "@visulima/path/utils";
const { filename, normalizeAliases, resolveAlias, reverseResolveAlias, isRelative, isBinaryPath, toPath } = require("@visulima/path/utils");

Supported Node.js Versions
Libraries in this ecosystem make the best effort to track Node.js’ release schedule.
