The tildify npm package is used to convert absolute paths into a tilde path, which replaces the user's home directory with a tilde (~). This can be useful for displaying paths in a more readable and user-friendly format, especially in command-line applications or logging.
Convert absolute path to tilde path
This feature takes an absolute path and converts it to a tilde path by replacing the user's home directory with a tilde (~).
const tildify = require('tildify');
const tildePath = tildify('/Users/username/project');
console.log(tildePath); // Outputs: '~/project'The untildify package performs the opposite action of tildify. It converts a tilde path back into an absolute path by expanding the tilde (~) to the user's home directory.
The user-home package is used to get the current user's home directory. While it does not convert paths, it provides the base functionality that packages like tildify rely on to replace the home directory with a tilde.
Similar to user-home, os-homedir is used to get the user's home directory. It's a low-level utility that can be used in conjunction with other packages to manipulate paths.
Convert an absolute path to a tilde path:
/Users/sindresorhus/dev→~/dev
$ npm install --save tildify
const tildify = require('tildify');
tildify('/Users/sindresorhus/dev');
//=> '~/dev'
See untildify for the inverse.
