NIST Misses 2024 Deadline to Clear NVD Backlog
NIST has failed to meet its self-imposed deadline of clearing the NVD's backlog by the end of the fiscal year. Meanwhile, CVE's awaiting analysis have increased by 33% since June.
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.
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'
The 'upath' package extends the native 'path' module and normalizes paths to always use forward slashes. It provides similar functionality to 'slash' but also includes other path manipulation utilities.
The 'normalize-path' package is used to remove trailing slashes and convert Windows backslash paths to slash paths. It is similar to 'slash' but also focuses on normalizing paths by removing redundant slashes.
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 and don't contain any non-ascii characters.
This was created since the path
methods in Node outputs \\
paths on Windows.
$ npm install slash
const path = require('path');
const slash = require('slash');
const str = path.join('foo', 'bar');
// Unix => foo/bar
// Windows => foo\\bar
slash(str);
// Unix => foo/bar
// Windows => foo/bar
Type: string
Accepts a Windows backslash path and returns a slash path.
