normalize-path
Advanced tools
Normalize slashes in a file path to be posix/unix-like forward slashes. Also condenses repeat slashes to a single slash and removes and trailing slashes, unless disabled.
The normalize-path npm package is designed to normalize file paths, making them consistent across different operating systems and environments. It can be particularly useful for handling file paths in a cross-platform manner, ensuring that paths are correctly formatted and can be reliably compared or manipulated regardless of the underlying OS.
Normalize slashes
Converts Windows backslash paths to POSIX forward slashes, making paths consistent across different environments.
"const normalize = require('normalize-path');
console.log(normalize('C:\\path\\to\\file')); // 'C:/path/to/file'"Remove trailing slashes
Optionally removes trailing slashes from paths, which can be useful for comparing directory paths or constructing URLs.
"const normalize = require('normalize-path');
console.log(normalize('path/to/resource/', false)); // 'path/to/resource'"Normalize for use in URLs
Cleans up the path by resolving dot segments (e.g., '..' and '.') to produce a canonical path. This is particularly useful for creating clean URLs.
"const normalize = require('normalize-path');
console.log(normalize('/foo/bar//baz/asdf/quux/..')); // '/foo/bar/baz/asdf'"The 'path' module is a core Node.js module that provides utilities for working with file and directory paths. It offers similar normalization functionalities but is built into Node.js, meaning it doesn't require an additional installation. Unlike normalize-path, it handles paths differently based on the operating system.
upath is an extension of Node.js's path module that normalizes paths to always use forward slashes, similar to normalize-path. It also adds filename and extension manipulation functions. upath provides a broader set of path manipulation utilities while maintaining cross-platform consistency.

Install with npm:
$ npm install --save normalize-path
const normalize = require('normalize-path');
console.log(normalize('\\foo\\bar\\baz\\'));
//=> '/foo/bar/baz'
win32 namespaces
console.log(normalize('\\\\?\\UNC\\Server01\\user\\docs\\Letter.txt'));
//=> '//?/UNC/Server01/user/docs/Letter.txt'
console.log(normalize('\\\\.\\CdRomX'));
//=> '//./CdRomX'
Consecutive slashes
Condenses multiple consecutive forward slashes (except for leading slashes in win32 namespaces) to a single slash.
console.log(normalize('.//foo//bar///////baz/'));
//=> './foo/bar/baz'
By default trailing slashes are removed. Pass false as the last argument to disable this behavior and keep trailing slashes:
console.log(normalize('foo\\bar\\baz\\', false)); //=> 'foo/bar/baz/'
console.log(normalize('./foo/bar/baz/', false)); //=> './foo/bar/baz/'
