Readme
A utility library for Atom for resolving relative links into special folders such as the installation directory or the user's home directory. This uses a special "pseudo drive" prefix on the directory to translate into an absolute path.
| Prefix | Location |
|---|---|
application: | The directory the application is installed into. |
home: | The current user's home directory. |
~ | Same as home:. |
config: | The configuration folder. |
desktop: | The user's desktop. |
documents: | The user's documents (My Documents) folder. |
downloads: | The user's download folder. |
project: | Only used with getProjectPath(), gets the project root relative to the given buffer. |
The above prefixes are case-insensitive and strip out dashes so APPDATA:, appdata: and app-data: all resolve to the application data directory. This is to make it more tolerant toward non-technical users entering data.
Any leading slashes (/) after the colon (or ~) will be stripped off and the remaining path will be treated as a file relative to that location. For example, on Unix, home:etc/dictionaries would resolve to $HOME/etc/dictionaries. home:/etc/dictionaries and home://etc/dictionaries resolve to the same path.
Absolute paths are passed in. If a relative path is given, either by prefixing with a ./ or not having a leading slash or drive, then relatively to the current working drive will be used.
stringReturns an absolute path from the given spec.
| Param | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| spec | string | A path specifier which may be an absolute, pseudo-drive, or relative path. |
