zeit-pkg-path

Node 8+

Helps to resolve paths when using pkg (detects if using packaged app or testing via node cli.js) related to current working dir of running app (where the app is installed or where node was executed).

Example

# Running in /root/
node test/cli.js
# Path returned via path.resolve('test.png')
# > /root/test.png

# Running in /root/
node cli.js
# Path returned via path.resolve('test.png')
# > /root/test.png

# Running in /root/test
./cli 
# Path returned via path.resolve('test.png')
# /root/test/test.png

Install

npm install zeit-pkg-path

Usage

// in context /root/test
const path = require('zeit-pkg-path')

// Resolves path based on current base path
console.log(path.resolve('../index.js'))
// /root/index.js

console.log(path.join('index'))
// /root/test/index

console.log(path.isLocal)
// True if running via node index.js, false if running in packaged executable

// Replaces base path from given string with dot to make it relative
console.log(path.toRelative('/root/test/index.js'))
// ./index.js

// Returns the base path
console.log(path.paths.base)
// /root/test
