0 points
In this article, we would like to show you how to get a relative path from one location to another 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.relative() method to get the relative path from from to to based on the current working directory.
Relative path to file:
xxxxxxxxxx1
import * as path from 'path';2
3
// example paths4
const from: string = 'projects\\app\\src';5
const to: string = 'projects\\app\\resources\\background.png';6
7
const result: string = path.relative(from, to);8
9
console.log(result); // ..\resources\background.pngOutput:
xxxxxxxxxx1
..\resources\background.pngNote:
Thanks to the path we got, we are able to access the background.png file in the src folder.
Relative path to directory:
xxxxxxxxxx1
import * as path from 'path';2
3
// example paths4
const from: string = 'projects\\app\\src';5
const to: string = 'projects\\app\\resources';6
7
const result: string = path.relative(from, to);8
9
console.log(result); // ..\resourcesOutput:
xxxxxxxxxx1
..\resourcesNote:
Thanks to the path we got, we are able to access the resources directory in the src folder.
