The Dark Side of Open Source
At Node Congress, Socket CEO Feross Aboukhadijeh uncovers the darker aspects of open source, where applications that rely heavily on third-party dependencies can be exploited in supply chain attacks.
Package description
The 'path' npm package is a core module in Node.js that provides utilities for working with file and directory paths. It can be used to perform operations such as parsing and formatting paths, joining and resolving paths, and extracting components of a path like the directory name, base name, or extension.
Path Normalization
Normalizes the given path, resolving '..' and '.' segments and multiple slashes.
const path = require('path');
const normalizedPath = path.normalize('/users//test/../test1//file/');
Join Paths
Joins all given path segments together using the platform-specific separator as a delimiter.
const path = require('path');
const joinedPath = path.join('/first', 'second', 'file.txt');
Resolve Path
Resolves a sequence of paths or path segments into an absolute path.
const path = require('path');
const resolvedPath = path.resolve('first', '/second', 'file.txt');
Path Segments
Provides methods to extract the directory name, base name, and extension from a path.
const path = require('path');
const dirname = path.dirname('/first/second/file.txt');
const basename = path.basename('/first/second/file.txt');
const extname = path.extname('/first/second/file.txt');
Path Parsing
Returns an object whose properties represent significant elements of the path.
const path = require('path');
const parsedPath = path.parse('/home/user/dir/file.txt');
A path manipulation library that works the same way across all platforms. It normalizes paths to always use forward slashes and provides the same base functionality as the native 'path' module.
A version of the Node.js 'path' module for browsers. It offers the same API as the Node.js 'path' module, making it useful for projects that need path manipulation in a browser environment.
An extension of the Node.js 'path' module, adding extra methods not found in the core path module, such as 'home', 'desktop', and 'temp' directory paths.
