| |
| ## Install |
| |
| Install with [npm](https://www.npmjs.com/): |
| |
| ```sh |
| $ npm install parse-filepath --save |
| ``` |
| |
| ## Usage |
| |
| ```js |
| var parsePath = require('parse-filepath'); |
| parsePath(filepath); |
| ``` |
| |
| This can be used as a polyfill for the native node.js `path.parse()` method, and it also adds a few properties: |
| |
| * `path`: the original filepath |
| * `isAbsolute`: (getter) true if the given path is absolute |
| * `absolute`: (getter) fully resolved, absolute filepath |
| * `dirname`: alias for `dir` |
| * `basename`: alias for `base` |
| * `extname`: alias for `ext` |
| * `stem`: alias for `name` |
| |
| **Example** |
| |
| ```js |
| var parsePath = require('parse-filepath'); |
| console.log(parsePath('foo/bar/baz/index.js')); |
| ``` |
| |
| Returns: |
| |
| ```js |
| { root: '', |
| dir: 'foo/bar/baz', |
| base: 'index.js', |
| ext: '.js', |
| name: 'index', |
| |
| // aliases |
| extname: '.js', |
| basename: 'index.js', |
| dirname: 'foo/bar/baz', |
| stem: 'index', |
| |
| // original path |
| path: 'foo/bar/baz/index.js', |
| |
| // getters |
| absolute: [Getter/Setter], |
| isAbsolute: [Getter/Setter] } |
| ``` |
