Node.js - check if path is absolute
0 points
In this article, we would like to show you how to check if the path is absolute in Node.js.
1. Import path module using:
xxxxxxxxxx1
const path = require('path');2. Use path.isAbsolute() method with the path you want to check as an argument to find out if it is absolute (true) or relative (false).
Practical example:
xxxxxxxxxx1
const path = require('path');2
3
// example paths4
const absolutePath = 'C:/projects/app/index.js';5
const relativePath = './index.js';6
7
// check if path is absolute8
const result1 = path.isAbsolute(absolutePath);9
const result2 = path.isAbsolute(relativePath);10
11
console.log(result1); // true12
console.log(result2); // falseOutput:
xxxxxxxxxx1
true2
false
