What is upath?

The 'upath' npm package is a utility for working with file and directory paths across different operating systems. It provides a consistent API for handling paths, ensuring compatibility between Windows, macOS, and Linux.

What are upath's main functionalities?

Normalization

The 'normalize' function converts a given path to a consistent format, replacing backslashes with forward slashes and resolving '..' and '.' segments.

const upath = require('upath');
const normalizedPath = upath.normalize('foo\bar//baz/asdf/quux/..');
console.log(normalizedPath); // Outputs: 'foo/bar/baz/asdf'

Joining Paths

The 'join' function concatenates multiple path segments into a single path, ensuring the correct separators are used.

const upath = require('upath');
const joinedPath = upath.join('foo', 'bar', 'baz/asdf', 'quux', '..');
console.log(joinedPath); // Outputs: 'foo/bar/baz/asdf'

Resolving Paths

The 'resolve' function computes the absolute path by resolving '..' and '.' segments and considering the current working directory.

const upath = require('upath');
const resolvedPath = upath.resolve('foo/bar', '/tmp/file/', '..', 'a/../subfile');
console.log(resolvedPath); // Outputs: '/tmp/subfile'

Getting Directory Name

The 'dirname' function returns the directory name of a given path.

const upath = require('upath');
const dirName = upath.dirname('/foo/bar/baz/asdf/quux');
console.log(dirName); // Outputs: '/foo/bar/baz/asdf'

Getting Base Name

The 'basename' function returns the last portion of a path, typically the file name.

const upath = require('upath');
const baseName = upath.basename('/foo/bar/baz/asdf/quux.html');
console.log(baseName); // Outputs: 'quux.html'

Getting Extension Name

The 'extname' function returns the extension of the path, from the last occurrence of the '.' character to the end of the string.

const upath = require('upath');
const extName = upath.extname('/foo/bar/baz/asdf/quux.html');
console.log(extName); // Outputs: '.html'
