is-absolute
Advanced tools
Polyfill for node.js `path.isAbolute`. Returns true if a file path is absolute.
The is-absolute npm package is a utility that helps determine if a given file path is an absolute path. This can be particularly useful in file system operations where the distinction between absolute and relative paths is important.
Check if a path is absolute
This feature allows you to check if a given path is absolute. An absolute path is one that starts from the root directory, as opposed to a relative path which is relative to the current working directory.
const isAbsolute = require('is-absolute');
console.log(isAbsolute('/home/user')); // true
console.log(isAbsolute('home/user')); // falseThe path-is-absolute package provides similar functionality to is-absolute by determining if a given path is absolute. It is a lightweight package and can be used as a drop-in replacement for is-absolute.
The path module is a core Node.js module that provides utilities for working with file and directory paths. It includes a method called path.isAbsolute() which can be used to check if a path is absolute. This module offers a broader range of path-related utilities compared to is-absolute.
