Package description

What is normalize-path?

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.

What are normalize-path's main functionalities?

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'"

Install

Install with npm:

$ npm install --save normalize-path

Usage

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'

Trailing slashes

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/'

Release history

v3.0

No breaking changes in this release.

  • a check was added to ensure that win32 namespaces are handled properly by win32 path.parse() after a path has been normalized by this library.
  • a minor optimization was made to simplify how the trailing separator was handled
