normalize-path

Normalize slashes in a file path to be posix/unix-like forward slashes. Also condenses repeat slashes to a single slash and removes and trailing slashes, unless disabled.

Please consider following this project's author, Jon Schlinkert, and consider starring the project to show your and support.

Install

Install with npm:

$ npm install --save normalize-path

Usage

const normalize = require('normalize-path');

console.log(normalize('\\foo\\bar\\baz\\')); 
//=> '/foo/bar/baz'

win32 namespaces

console.log(normalize('\\\\?\\UNC\\Server01\\user\\docs\\Letter.txt')); 
//=> '//?/UNC/Server01/user/docs/Letter.txt'

console.log(normalize('\\\\.\\CdRomX')); 
//=> '//./CdRomX'

Consecutive slashes

Condenses multiple consecutive forward slashes (except for leading slashes in win32 namespaces) to a single slash.

console.log(normalize('.//foo//bar///////baz/')); 
//=> './foo/bar/baz'

Trailing slashes

By default trailing slashes are removed. Pass false as the last argument to disable this behavior and keep trailing slashes:

console.log(normalize('foo\\bar\\baz\\', false)); //=> 'foo/bar/baz/'
console.log(normalize('./foo/bar/baz/', false)); //=> './foo/bar/baz/'

Release history

No breaking changes in this release.

a check was added to ensure that win32 namespaces.aspx#namespaces) are handled properly by win32 path.parse() after a path has been normalized by this library.
a minor optimization was made to simplify how the trailing separator was handled
