TypeScript / Node.js - get current working directory

In this article, we would like to show you how to get the current working directory in Node.js.

Quick solution:

const directory = process.cwd();

or:

import * as path from 'path';

const directory: string = path.resolve();

Practical example

In this example, we create two variables for the current working directory using two different methods.

import * as path from 'path';

const directory1: string = process.cwd();
const directory2: string = path.resolve();

console.log(directory1);  // C:\Project
console.log(directory2);  // C:\Project

Output:

C:\Project
C:\Project
