util.join

Joins and normalizes a file path into a unix path.

Using the node path.join() on Windows results in a backslash path separator. Using it on OSX or Linux uses a forward slash. This function is a wrapper that will perform the node join and then normalize all path separators using the forward slash. e.g. the path:

C:\blah\blah\blah

will become:

C:/blah/blah/blah

OSX/Linux paths will work the same. This function will also detect the "home" path leader (~/, ~\, or ~) and expand it.

Installation

This module uses yarn to manage dependencies and run scripts for development.

To install as an application dependency:

$ yarn add --dev util.join

To build the app and run all tests:

$ yarn run all

Usage

const join = require('util.join');

let s = join('C:\\', 'blah', 'blah', 'blah');
console.log(s);

// prints the path 'C:/blah/blah/blah'
