Advanced tools
Package description
The path-is-absolute npm package provides a simple utility to check if a given path is an absolute path. In different operating systems, an absolute path is defined differently, and this package takes those differences into account, offering a consistent API across environments.
Check if a path is absolute
This feature allows you to check if a given path string represents an absolute path on the current operating system. The function returns a boolean value: true if the path is absolute, and false otherwise.
var pathIsAbsolute = require('path-is-absolute');
console.log(pathIsAbsolute('/home/foo')); // On Unix: true
console.log(pathIsAbsolute('C:\\path\\to\\file')); // On Windows: true
console.log(pathIsAbsolute('foo/bar')); // falseSimilar to path-is-absolute, is-absolute checks if a given path is absolute. It provides a more comprehensive API with additional checks and utilities around path analysis compared to path-is-absolute.
While is-relative serves the opposite purpose of path-is-absolute, it is relevant in the context of path analysis. It checks if a path is relative, which can be useful in conjunction with path-is-absolute for applications that need to validate paths extensively.
