0 points
In this article, we would like to show you how to check if the path is absolute in Node.js.
1. Install node types with the following command:
xxxxxxxxxx1
npm install --save @types/node2. Import path module using:
xxxxxxxxxx1
import * as path from 'path';3. 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).
xxxxxxxxxx1
import * as path from 'path';2
3
// example paths4
const absolutePath: string = 'C:/projects/app/index.js';5
const relativePath: string = './index.js';6
7
// check if path is absolute8
const result1: boolean = path.isAbsolute(absolutePath);9
const result2: boolean = path.isAbsolute(relativePath);10

console.log(result1); // true12
console.log(result2); // falseOutput:
xxxxxxxxxx1
