slash

slash

Convert Windows backslash paths to slash paths: foo\\bar ➔ foo/bar

Forward-slash paths can be used in Windows as long as they're not extended-length paths.

This was created since the path methods in Node.js outputs \\ paths on Windows.

Install

npm install slash

Usage

import path from 'node:path';
import slash from 'slash';

const string = path.join('foo', 'bar');
// Unix    => foo/bar
// Windows => foo\\bar

slash(string);
// Unix    => foo/bar
// Windows => foo/bar

API
