Advanced tools
Package description
The path-root-regex npm package provides a regular expression for matching the root path of a filesystem path. It is useful for extracting or manipulating parts of paths across different operating systems.
Extract root path
This feature allows you to extract the root part of a filesystem path using a regular expression. The code sample demonstrates how to use the package to get the root path from a full path string.
const pathRootRegex = require('path-root-regex');
let root = pathRootRegex().exec('/user/docs/Letter.txt')[0];
console.log(root); // Outputs '/' on Unix-like systemsSimilar to path-root-regex, path-parse is used for parsing paths. It provides more comprehensive parsing capabilities, such as extracting the directory, root, base, name, and extension of the path, whereas path-root-regex focuses solely on identifying the root component.
This package offers utilities for working with file and directory paths. It's more extensive than path-root-regex, providing functions to normalize, join, resolve, and more, in addition to parsing paths.
Readme
Regular expression for getting the root of a posix or windows filepath.
Install with npm:
$ npm install path-root-regex --save
The module exposes a function that must be called to get the regex.
var pathRootRegex = require('path-root-regex');
console.log(pathRootRegex() instanceof RegExp);
//=> true
assert.equal(match('\\\\server foo\\some folder\\base-file.js'), '\\\\server foo\\some folder\\');
assert.equal(match('\\\\?\\UNC\\server\\share'), '\\\\?\\UNC\\');
assert.equal(match('foo/bar/baz.js'), '');
assert.equal(match('c:\\foo\\bar\\baz.js'), 'c:\\');
assert.equal(match('\\\\slslslsl\\admin$\\system32'), '\\\\slslslsl\\admin$\\');
assert.equal(match('/foo/bar/baz.js'), '/');
