Package description

What is path?

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.

What are path's main functionalities?

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');
