Advanced tools
Package description
The true-case-path npm package is designed to provide the true case of a filesystem path on a case-insensitive filesystem. This is particularly useful when working with file systems that do not enforce case sensitivity, such as those on Windows and macOS. It helps in ensuring that the path casing matches the actual casing on the filesystem.
Get true case of a file path
This feature allows you to get the true case of a file path. It returns a promise that resolves to the correctly cased path as a string. If the file does not exist, the promise is rejected with an error.
const trueCasePath = require('true-case-path');
trueCasePath('/users/guest/documents/myfile.txt').then((trueCasePath) => {
console.log(trueCasePath);
}).catch((error) => {
console.error(error);
});This is a Webpack plugin that enforces the entire path of all required modules to match the exact case of the actual path on disk. It is useful for avoiding module resolution issues on case-sensitive file systems or when working across different operating systems. It is similar to true-case-path in that it deals with case sensitivity issues, but it is specifically tailored for Webpack and module resolution rather than general file path usage.
The normalize-path package is used to normalize file paths, ensuring they have consistent slashes and do not include redundant segments. While it does not provide the true case of a path, it is related in the sense that it also deals with file path manipulation and normalization.
This package provides utilities for converting a string to various case formats, including path case. It does not check the file system for the true case of a path, but it can be used to manipulate strings to have a consistent case format, which can be useful in file path operations.
Readme
trueCasePathSync(<fileSystemPath>)
Given a possibly case-variant version of an existing filesystem path, returns the case-exact, normalized version as stored in the filesystem.
If the input path is a globbing pattern as defined by the 'glob' npm package, only the 1st match, if any, is returned. Only a literal input path guarantees an unambiguous result.
If no matching path exists, undefined is returned. On case-SENSITIVE filesystems, a match will also be found, but if case variations of a given path exist, it is undefined which match is returned.
Windows, OSX, and Linux (though note the limitations with case-insensitive filesystems).
'./' are acceptable, but paths starting with '../'
are not - when in doubt, resolve with fs.realPathSync() first.
An initial '.' and interior '..' instances are normalized, but a relative
input path still results in a relative output path. If you want to ensure
an absolute output path, apply fs.realPathSync() to the result.const trueCasePathSync = require('true-case-path')
trueCasePathSync('/users/guest') // OSX: -> '/Users/Guest'
trueCasePathSync('c:\\users\\all users') // Windows: -> 'c:\Users\All Users'
