Differences from node.js path

Given the following string:

var str = 'foo/bar/baz/quux.min.js';

.basename

Node.js:

• path.basename(str) => quux.min.js
• path.basename(str, path.extname(str)) => quux.min whaaaaa!?

parse-filepath:

• parsePath(str).basename => quux.min.js
• parsePath(str).name => quux

.extname

Node.js:

• path.extname(str) => .js

parse-filepath

• parsePath(str).extname => .min.js

.dotfiles

Given the following string:

var str = 'foo/bar/.dotfile';

Node.js

• path.basename(str) => .dotfile
• path.extname(str) => .dotfile

parse-filepath

• parsePath(str).basename => dotfile
• parsePath(str).name => dotfile
• parsePath(str).extname => ''
