Convert Windows backslash paths to slash paths:
foo\\bar➔foo/bar
Forward-slash paths can be used in Windows as long as they're not extended-length paths.
This was created since the path methods in Node.js outputs \\ paths on Windows.
npm install slash
import path from 'node:path';
import slash from 'slash';
const string = path.join('foo', 'bar');
// Unix => foo/bar
// Windows => foo\\bar
slash(string);
// Unix => foo/bar
// Windows => foo/bar
Type: string
Accepts a Windows backslash path and returns a path with forward slashes.
The 'upath' package extends the native 'path' module and normalizes paths to always use forward slashes. It provides similar functionality to 'slash' but also includes other path manipulation utilities.
The 'normalize-path' package is used to remove trailing slashes and convert Windows backslash paths to slash paths. It is similar to 'slash' but also focuses on normalizing paths by removing redundant slashes.
