sandbox-path v1.0.1

sandbox-path

require('path')-like module that always returns posix-style paths with configurable cwd.

npm install sandbox-path

Usage

const Path = require('sandbox-path')

const p = new Path('/') // set cwd

p.resolve('a', 'b', 'c') // returns '/a/b/c'
p.resolve('a', '../../b') // returns '/b'
p.resolve('/a', 'b', '/c') // returns '/c'

Useful when you need to do path manipulation that is unbound from the local filesystem (like using a virtual file system)

API

const path = new Path([cwd])

Create a new path instance. Optionally you can set cwd, when is what any relative paths will be resolved against before they are returned.

cwd defaults to /.

const abs = path.resolve(a, b)

Returns the result of resolving b from a. The result of that is resolved against the cwd.

The returned path is always absolute and normalised (ie, no .. sections).

const rel = path.relative(a, b)

Returnes the relative path from a to b.

const abs = path.normalize(a)

Normalize a path (ie resolve all .. and . sections).
