replace-ext
Advanced tools
The replace-ext npm package is a utility for replacing the extension of a file path string. It is particularly useful in build processes and file manipulation tasks where you need to change file extensions programmatically.
Replace File Extension
This feature allows you to replace the extension of a given file path. In the code sample, the extension of 'file.txt' is changed to '.md', resulting in 'file.md'.
const replaceExt = require('replace-ext');
const filePath = 'example/file.txt';
const newFilePath = replaceExt(filePath, '.md');
console.log(newFilePath); // Outputs: 'example/file.md'
The 'path' module is a built-in Node.js module that provides utilities for working with file and directory paths. It includes the 'path.format' and 'path.parse' methods, which can be used to achieve similar functionality to replace-ext by manually changing the file extension.
The 'upath' package is a utility for working with file paths across different operating systems. It provides methods like 'upath.changeExt' which can be used to change the file extension, similar to replace-ext. However, upath offers additional cross-platform path handling features.
Replaces a file extension with another one.
var replaceExt = require('replace-ext');
var path = '/some/dir/file.js';
var newPath = replaceExt(path, '.coffee');
console.log(newPath); // /some/dir/file.coffee
replaceExt(path, extension)
Replaces the extension from path
with extension
and returns the updated path string.
Does not replace the extension if path
is not a string or is empty.
