What is path-key?

The path-key npm package is used to get the environment variable used by the operating system to define the path for executables. This can be useful for cross-platform compatibility, as different operating systems use different environment variables ('PATH' on Windows, 'Path' on macOS and Linux).

What are path-key's main functionalities?

Get the PATH environment variable key

This feature allows you to retrieve the correct environment variable key for the system's PATH, which can be used to ensure cross-platform compatibility when working with system paths.

"const pathKey = require('path-key');

const key = pathKey(); // 'PATH' on Windows, 'Path' on macOS/Linux
console.log(`The PATH key is: ${key}`);"

Get the PATH environment variable key with options

This feature allows you to specify options such as the environment and platform, giving you more control over how the PATH key is determined, which can be useful for testing or specific use cases.

"const pathKey = require('path-key');

const options = { env: process.env, platform: 'win32' };
const key = pathKey(options); // Forces 'Path' even on Windows
console.log(`The PATH key is: ${key}`);"
