realpath-native

realpath-native

This module is no longer necessary as all current releases of Node supports fs.realpath.native now.

Use the system's native realpath

Node 9.3 added fs.realpath(Sync).native. On older Nodes you have to use process.binding to access the same function. This module does that check for you.

The advantage of the native realpath over fs.realpath is that the native one better supports paths on Windows.

On node 8 the function uses the old fs.realpath function.

Install

Install the module with npm:

$ npm install realpath-native
