Check if a path is inside another path
$ npm install is-path-inside
const isPathInside = require('is-path-inside'); isPathInside('a/b/c', 'a/b'); //=> true isPathInside('a/b/c', 'x/y'); //=> false isPathInside('a/b/c', 'a/b/c'); //=> false isPathInside('/Users/sindresorhus/dev/unicorn', '/Users/sindresorhus'); //=> true
Note that relative paths are resolved against process.cwd() to make them absolute.
Important: This package is meant for use with path manipulation. It does not check if the paths exist nor does it resolve symlinks. You should not use this as a security mechanism to guard against access to certain places on the file system.
