Crates.io Implements Trusted Publishing Support
Crates.io adds Trusted Publishing support, enabling secure GitHub Actions-based crate releases without long-lived API tokens.
The path-parse npm package is a utility for parsing a file path into its segments, offering a consistent and reliable way to dissect a path's components such as the root, directory, base, extension, and name. It is particularly useful in environments where path manipulation is necessary but challenging due to varying file system conventions.
Parsing file paths
This feature allows you to parse a full file path into an object containing properties such as root, dir, base, ext, and name. The code sample demonstrates parsing a Unix file path, which results in an object detailing each component of the path.
const pathParse = require('path-parse');
const parsedPath = pathParse('/home/user/dir/file.txt');
console.log(parsedPath);
The 'path' module is a core Node.js module that provides utilities for working with file and directory paths. It offers a wider range of functionalities compared to path-parse, including not only parsing but also joining, normalizing, and resolving paths. However, for projects that only require path parsing functionality, path-parse is a lightweight alternative.
Node.js
path.parse(pathString)
ponyfill.
$ npm install --save path-parse
var pathParse = require('path-parse');
pathParse('/home/user/dir/file.txt');
//=> {
// root : "/",
// dir : "/home/user/dir",
// base : "file.txt",
// ext : ".txt",
// name : "file"
// }
