Advanced tools
The is-path-in-cwd npm package is a utility that checks if a given path is inside the current working directory (CWD). This can be useful for security checks, ensuring that file operations are performed within a specific directory, or validating user input paths.
Check if a path is in the current working directory
This feature allows you to check if a given path is within the current working directory. The code sample demonstrates how to use the is-path-in-cwd package to perform this check and log the result.
const isPathInCwd = require('is-path-in-cwd');
const path = './some/path';
if (isPathInCwd(path)) {
console.log('The path is within the current working directory.');
} else {
console.log('The path is outside the current working directory.');
}
The is-path-inside package checks if one path is inside another path. It is more general than is-path-in-cwd as it allows you to specify any base path, not just the current working directory. This can be useful for more flexible path validation scenarios.
The path-is-inside package is another utility for checking if a path is inside another path. Similar to is-path-inside, it provides a general solution for path containment checks, making it versatile for various use cases beyond just the current working directory.
Check if a path is in the current working directory
$ npm install is-path-in-cwd
import isPathInCwd from 'is-path-in-cwd';
isPathInCwd('unicorn');
//=> true
isPathInCwd('../rainbow');
//=> false
isPathInCwd('.');
//=> false
