Advanced tools
Package description
The unc-path-regex npm package provides a regular expression specifically designed to match UNC (Universal Naming Convention) paths. UNC paths are used to specify the location of resources like files or devices on a network. This package is particularly useful for developers working with network file systems in Node.js applications, allowing them to validate and manipulate UNC paths efficiently.
UNC Path Validation
This feature allows developers to validate if a given string is a UNC path. The provided code sample demonstrates how to use the unc-path-regex to test if specific paths are UNC paths.
const uncPathRegex = require('unc-path-regex');
const regex = uncPathRegex();
console.log(regex.test('\\\\Server01\\user\\docs\\Letter.txt')); // true
console.log(regex.test('C:\\path\\to\\file.txt')); // falseExtract UNC Path Components
This feature can be used to extract components of a UNC path using the regex match method. The code sample shows how to extract the full UNC path from a string.
const uncPathRegex = require('unc-path-regex');
const regex = uncPathRegex();
const uncPath = '\\\\Server01\\share\\file.txt';
const match = uncPath.match(regex);
console.log(match[0]); // '\\\\Server01\\share\\file.txt'The path-regex package provides a regular expression to match and validate general file paths. Unlike unc-path-regex, which is specialized for UNC paths, path-regex handles a broader range of file paths including both Windows and POSIX formats.
is-unc-path is a package that checks if a path is a UNC path. It provides a more focused approach similar to unc-path-regex but instead of providing a regex, it offers a function that returns a boolean indicating whether the path is a UNC path or not.
Readme
Regular expression for testing if a file path is a windows UNC file path. Can also be used as a component of another regexp via the

Visit the MSDN reference for Common Data Types 2.2.57 UNC for more information about UNC paths.
Install with npm
$ npm i unc-path-regex --save
// unc-path-regex returns a function
var regex = require('unc-path-regex')();
true
Returns true for windows UNC paths:
regex.test('\\/foo/bar');
regex.test('\\\\foo/bar');
regex.test('\\\\foo\\admin$');
regex.test('\\\\foo\\admin$\\system32');
regex.test('\\\\foo\\temp');
regex.test('\\\\/foo/bar');
regex.test('\\\\\\/foo/bar');
false
Returns false for non-UNC paths:
regex.test('/foo/bar');
regex.test('/');
regex.test('/foo');
regex.test('/foo/');
regex.test('c:');
regex.test('c:.');
regex.test('c:./');
regex.test('c:./file');
regex.test('c:/');
regex.test('c:/file');
.git/true if the given string looks like a glob pattern.Install dev dependencies:
$ npm i -d && npm test
