Package description

What is slash?

The 'slash' npm package is used to convert Windows backslash paths to slash paths, which are commonly used in Unix-based systems. This is particularly useful when working with file paths in a cross-platform environment, ensuring that paths are handled consistently across different operating systems.

What are slash's main functionalities?

Convert Windows backslash paths to slash paths

This feature takes a Windows-style backslash path and converts it to a Unix-style slash path. It's useful for ensuring that file paths are compatible with Unix-based systems or tools that expect forward slashes.

const slash = require('slash');
const path = 'C:\\Users\\User\\file.txt';
const convertedPath = slash(path);
console.log(convertedPath); // 'C:/Users/User/file.txt'

Readme

Source

slash

Convert Windows backslash paths to slash paths: foo\\barfoo/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

slash(path)

Type: string

Accepts a Windows backslash path and returns a path with forward slashes.
