Check if a path is the current working directory
npm install is-path-cwd
import isPathCwd from 'is-path-cwd';
isPathCwd(process.cwd());
//=> true
isPathCwd('unicorn');
//=> false
The `is-path-inside` package checks if one path is inside another path. This is similar to `is-path-cwd` in that it deals with path relationships, but it offers a broader functionality by allowing you to check for any parent-child path relationship, not just the current working directory.
The `find-up` package allows you to find a file or directory by searching up from a given directory until reaching the root directory. While `is-path-cwd` specifically checks if a path is the CWD, `find-up` can be used to locate files or directories relative to the CWD or any other directory, providing a more versatile approach to working with filesystem paths.
