path-normalize

path-normalize

Zero-dependency browser-oriented path.normalize.

path-normalize is different from normalize-path; normalize-path only handles slashes, while this lib is a browser-focused version of the POSIX path.normalize in Node.

path-normalize also differs from Node's path.normalize. path-normalize handles uri-encoded strings and strips directory traversals (../).

Portions of this code are heavily based on code in Node.

Installation

npm i path-normalize

Usage

const normalize = require('path-normalize')
const normal = (somePath) => normalize(somePath)

Slightly more real-world example:

import normalize from 'path-normalize'

// imaginary client-side router api
router.route('/foo/*', (pathname) => {
  const normalized = normalize(pathname)
  if (normalized !== pathname) {
    router.redirect(normalized)
  } else {
    renderFoo()
  }
})
