Namespace PathExt

The namespace for path-related functions.

Note that Jupyter server paths do not start with a leading slash.

Functions

Functions

basename

  • basename(path: string, ext?: string): string

  • Return the last portion of a path. Similar to the Unix basename command. Often used to extract the file name from a fully qualified path.

    Parameters

    • path: string

      The path to evaluate.

    • Optional ext: string

      An extension to remove from the result.

    Returns string

dirname

  • dirname(path: string): string

  • Get the directory name of a path, similar to the Unix dirname command. When an empty path is given, returns the root path.

    Parameters

    • path: string

      The file path.

    Returns string

extname

  • extname(path: string): string

  • Get the extension of the path.

    Parameters

    • path: string

      The file path.

    Returns string

    the extension of the file.

    Notes

    The extension is the string from the last occurrence of the . character to end of string in the last portion of the path, inclusive. If there is no . in the last portion of the path, or if the first character of the basename of path basename is ., then an empty string is returned.

join

  • join(...paths: string[]): string

  • Join all arguments together and normalize the resulting path. Arguments must be strings. In v0.8, non-string arguments were silently ignored. In v0.10 and up, an exception is thrown.

    Parameters

    • Rest ...paths: string[]

      The string paths to join.

    Returns string

normalize

  • normalize(path: string): string

  • Normalize a string path, reducing '..' and '.' parts. When multiple slashes are found, they're replaced by a single one; when the path contains a trailing slash, it is preserved. On Windows backslashes are used. When an empty path is given, returns the root path.

    Parameters

    • path: string

      The string path to normalize.

    Returns string

normalizeExtension

  • normalizeExtension(extension: string): string

  • Normalize a file extension to be of the type '.foo'.

    Parameters

    • extension: string

      the file extension.

      Notes

      Adds a leading dot if not present and converts to lower case.

    Returns string

relative

  • relative(from: string, to: string): string

  • Solve the relative path from {from} to {to}.

    Parameters

    • from: string

      The source path.

    • to: string

      The target path.

      Notes

      If from and to each resolve to the same path (after calling path.resolve() on each), a zero-length string is returned. If a zero-length string is passed as from or to, / will be used instead of the zero-length strings.

    Returns string

removeSlash

  • removeSlash(path: string): string

  • Remove the leading slash from a path.

    Parameters

    • path: string

    Returns string

resolve

  • resolve(...parts: string[]): string

  • Resolve a sequence of paths or path segments into an absolute path. The root path in the application has no leading slash, so it is removed.

    Parameters

    • Rest ...parts: string[]

      The paths to join.

      Notes

      The right-most parameter is considered {to}. Other parameters are considered an array of {from}.

      Starting from leftmost {from} parameter, resolves {to} to an absolute path.

      If {to} isn't already absolute, {from} arguments are prepended in right to left order, until an absolute path is found. If after using all {from} paths still no absolute path is found, the current working directory is used as well. The resulting path is normalized, and trailing slashes are removed unless the path gets resolved to the root directory.

    Returns string
