# upath v1.2.0
[![Build Status](https://travis-ci.org/anodynos/upath.svg?branch=master)](https://travis-ci.org/anodynos/upath)
[![Up to date Status](https://david-dm.org/anodynos/upath.png)](https://david-dm.org/anodynos/upath)
A drop-in replacement / proxy to nodejs's `path` that:
* Replaces the windows `\` with the unix `/` in all string params & results. This has significant positives - see below.
* Adds **filename extensions** functions `addExt`, `trimExt`, `removeExt`, `changeExt`, and `defaultExt`.
* Add a `normalizeSafe` function to preserve any meaningful leading `./` & a `normalizeTrim` which additionally trims any useless ending `/`.
* Plus a helper `toUnix` that simply converts `\` to `/` and consolidates duplicates.
**Useful note: these docs are actually auto generated from [specs](https://github.com/anodynos/upath/blob/master/source/spec/upath-spec.coffee), running on Linux.**
Notes:
* `upath.sep` is set to `'/'` for seamless replacement (as of 1.0.3).
* upath has no runtime dependencies, except built-in `path` (as of 1.0.4)
* travis-ci tested in node versions 4 to 12
## Why ?
Normal `path` doesn't convert paths to a unified format (ie `/`) before calculating paths (`normalize`, `join`), which can lead to numerous problems.
Also path joining, normalization etc on the two formats is not consistent, depending on where it runs. Running `path` on Windows yields different results than when it runs on Linux / Mac.
In general, if you code your paths logic while developing on Unix/Mac and it runs on Windows, you may run into problems when using `path`.
Note that using **Unix `/` on Windows** works perfectly inside nodejs (and other languages), so there's no reason to stick to the Windows legacy at all.
##### Examples / specs
Check out the different (improved) behavior to vanilla `path`:
`upath.normalize(path)` --returns-->
`'c:/windows/nodejs/path'` ---> `'c:/windows/nodejs/path'` // equal to `path.normalize()`
`'c:/windows/../nodejs/path'` ---> `'c:/nodejs/path'` // equal to `path.normalize()`
`'c:\\windows\\nodejs\\path'` ---> `'c:/windows/nodejs/path'` // `path.normalize()` gives `'c:\windows\nodejs\path'`
`'c:\\windows\\..\\nodejs\\path'` ---> `'c:/nodejs/path'` // `path.normalize()` gives `'c:\windows\..\nodejs\path'`
`'//windows\\unix/mixed'` ---> `'/windows/unix/mixed'` // `path.normalize()` gives `'/windows\unix/mixed'`
`'\\windows//unix/mixed'` ---> `'/windows/unix/mixed'` // `path.normalize()` gives `'\windows/unix/mixed'`
`'////\\windows\\..\\unix/mixed/'` ---> `'/unix/mixed/'` // `path.normalize()` gives `'/\windows\..\unix/mixed/'`
Joining paths can also be a problem:
`upath.join(paths...)` --returns-->
`'some/nodejs/deep', '../path'` ---> `'some/nodejs/path'` // equal to `path.join()`
`'some/nodejs\\windows', '../path'` ---> `'some/nodejs/path'` // `path.join()` gives `'some/path'`
`'some\\windows\\only', '..\\path'` ---> `'some/windows/path'` // `path.join()` gives `'some\windows\only/..\path'`
Parsing with `path.parse()` should also be consistent across OSes:
`upath.parse(path)` --returns-->
`'c:\Windows\Directory\somefile.ext'` ---> `{ root: '', dir: 'c:/Windows/Directory', base: 'somefile.ext', ext: '.ext', name: 'somefile' }`
// `path.parse()` gives `'{ root: '', dir: '', base: 'c:\\Windows\\Directory\\somefile.ext', ext: '.ext', name: 'c:\\Windows\\Directory\\somefile' }'`
`'/root/of/unix/somefile.ext'` ---> `{ root: '/', dir: '/root/of/unix', base: 'somefile.ext', ext: '.ext', name: 'somefile' }` // equal to `path.parse()`
## Added functions
#### `upath.toUnix(path)`
Just converts all `` to `/` and consolidates duplicates, without performing any normalization.
##### Examples / specs
`upath.toUnix(path)` --returns-->
`'.//windows\//unix//mixed////'` ---> `'./windows/unix/mixed/'`
`'..///windows\..\\unix/mixed'` ---> `'../windows/../unix/mixed'`
#### `upath.normalizeSafe(path)`
Exactly like `path.normalize(path)`, but it keeps the first meaningful `./`.
Note that the unix `/` is returned everywhere, so windows `\` is always converted to unix `/`.
##### Examples / specs & how it differs from vanilla `path`
`upath.normalizeSafe(path)` --returns-->
`''` ---> `'.'` // equal to `path.normalize()`
`'.'` ---> `'.'` // equal to `path.normalize()`
`'./'` ---> `'./'` // equal to `path.normalize()`
`'.//'` ---> `'./'` // equal to `path.normalize()`
`'.\\'` ---> `'./'` // `path.normalize()` gives `'.\'`
`'.\\//'` ---> `'./'` // `path.normalize()` gives `'.\/'`
`'./..'` ---> `'..'` // equal to `path.normalize()`
`'.//..'` ---> `'..'` // equal to `path.normalize()`
`'./../'` ---> `'../'` // equal to `path.normalize()`
`'.\\..\\'` ---> `'../'` // `path.normalize()` gives `'.\..\'`
`'./../dep'` ---> `'../dep'` // equal to `path.normalize()`
`'../dep'` ---> `'../dep'` // equal to `path.normalize()`
`'../path/dep'` ---> `'../path/dep'` // equal to `path.normalize()`
`'../path/../dep'` ---> `'../dep'` // equal to `path.normalize()`
`'dep'` ---> `'dep'` // equal to `path.normalize()`
`'path//dep'` ---> `'path/dep'` // equal to `path.normalize()`
`'./dep'` ---> `'./dep'` // `path.normalize()` gives `'dep'`
`'./path/dep'` ---> `'./path/dep'` // `path.normalize()` gives `'path/dep'`
`'./path/../dep'` ---> `'./dep'` // `path.normalize()` gives `'dep'`
`'.//windows\\unix/mixed/'` ---> `'./windows/unix/mixed/'` // `path.normalize()` gives `'windows\unix/mixed/'`
`'..//windows\\unix/mixed'` ---> `'../windows/unix/mixed'` // `path.normalize()` gives `'../windows\unix/mixed'`
`'windows\\unix/mixed/'` ---> `'windows/unix/mixed/'` // `path.normalize()` gives `'windows\unix/mixed/'`
`'..//windows\\..\\unix/mixed'` ---> `'../unix/mixed'` // `path.normalize()` gives `'../windows\..\unix/mixed'`
#### `upath.normalizeTrim(path)`
Exactly like `path.normalizeSafe(path)`, but it trims any useless ending `/`.
##### Examples / specs
`upath.normalizeTrim(path)` --returns-->
`'./'` ---> `'.'` // `upath.normalizeSafe()` gives `'./'`
`'./../'` ---> `'..'` // `upath.normalizeSafe()` gives `'../'`
`'./../dep/'` ---> `'../dep'` // `upath.normalizeSafe()` gives `'../dep/'`
`'path//dep\\'` ---> `'path/dep'` // `upath.normalizeSafe()` gives `'path/dep/'`
`'.//windows\\unix/mixed/'` ---> `'./windows/unix/mixed'` // `upath.normalizeSafe()` gives `'./windows/unix/mixed/'`
#### `upath.joinSafe([path1][, path2][, ...])`
Exactly like `path.join()`, but it keeps the first meaningful `./`.
Note that the unix `/` is returned everywhere, so windows `\` is always converted to unix `/`.
##### Examples / specs & how it differs from vanilla `path`
`upath.joinSafe(path)` --returns-->
`'some/nodejs/deep', '../path'` ---> `'some/nodejs/path'` // equal to `path.join()`
`'./some/local/unix/', '../path'` ---> `'./some/local/path'` // `path.join()` gives `'some/local/path'`
`'./some\\current\\mixed', '..\\path'` ---> `'./some/current/path'` // `path.join()` gives `'some\current\mixed/..\path'`
`'../some/relative/destination', '..\\path'` ---> `'../some/relative/path'` // `path.join()` gives `'../some/relative/destination/..\path'`
## Added functions for *filename extension* manipulation.
**Happy notes:**
In all functions you can:
* use both `.ext` & `ext` - the dot `.` on the extension is always adjusted correctly.
* omit the `ext` param (pass null/undefined/empty string) and the common sense thing will happen.
* ignore specific extensions from being considered as valid ones (eg `.min`, `.dev` `.aLongExtIsNotAnExt` etc), hence no trimming or replacement takes place on them.
#### `upath.addExt(filename, [ext])`
Adds `.ext` to `filename`, but only if it doesn't already have the exact extension.
##### Examples / specs
`upath.addExt(filename, 'js')` --returns-->
`'myfile/addExt'` ---> `'myfile/addExt.js'`
`'myfile/addExt.txt'` ---> `'myfile/addExt.txt.js'`
`'myfile/addExt.js'` ---> `'myfile/addExt.js'`
`'myfile/addExt.min.'` ---> `'myfile/addExt.min..js'`
It adds nothing if no `ext` param is passed.
`upath.addExt(filename)` --returns-->
`'myfile/addExt'` ---> `'myfile/addExt'`
`'myfile/addExt.txt'` ---> `'myfile/addExt.txt'`
`'myfile/addExt.js'` ---> `'myfile/addExt.js'`
`'myfile/addExt.min.'` ---> `'myfile/addExt.min.'`
#### `upath.trimExt(filename, [ignoreExts], [maxSize=7])`
Trims a filename's extension.
* Extensions are considered to be up to `maxSize` chars long, counting the dot (defaults to 7).
* An `Array` of `ignoreExts` (eg `['.min']`) prevents these from being considered as extension, thus are not trimmed.
##### Examples / specs
`upath.trimExt(filename)` --returns-->
`'my/trimedExt.txt'` ---> `'my/trimedExt'`
`'my/trimedExt'` ---> `'my/trimedExt'`
`'my/trimedExt.min'` ---> `'my/trimedExt'`
`'my/trimedExt.min.js'` ---> `'my/trimedExt.min'`
`'../my/trimedExt.longExt'` ---> `'../my/trimedExt.longExt'`
It is ignoring `.min` & `.dev` as extensions, and considers exts with up to 8 chars.
`upath.trimExt(filename, ['min', '.dev'], 8)` --returns-->
`'my/trimedExt.txt'` ---> `'my/trimedExt'`
`'my/trimedExt.min'` ---> `'my/trimedExt.min'`
`'my/trimedExt.dev'` ---> `'my/trimedExt.dev'`
`'../my/trimedExt.longExt'` ---> `'../my/trimedExt'`
`'../my/trimedExt.longRExt'` ---> `'../my/trimedExt.longRExt'`
#### `upath.removeExt(filename, ext)`
Removes the specific `ext` extension from filename, if it has it. Otherwise it leaves it as is.
As in all upath functions, it be `.ext` or `ext`.
##### Examples / specs
`upath.removeExt(filename, '.js')` --returns-->
`'removedExt.js'` ---> `'removedExt'`
`'removedExt.txt.js'` ---> `'removedExt.txt'`
`'notRemoved.txt'` ---> `'notRemoved.txt'`
It does not care about the length of exts.
`upath.removeExt(filename, '.longExt')` --returns-->
`'removedExt.longExt'` ---> `'removedExt'`
`'removedExt.txt.longExt'` ---> `'removedExt.txt'`
`'notRemoved.txt'` ---> `'notRemoved.txt'`
#### `upath.changeExt(filename, [ext], [ignoreExts], [maxSize=7])`
Changes a filename's extension to `ext`. If it has no (valid) extension, it adds it.
* Valid extensions are considered to be up to `maxSize` chars long, counting the dot (defaults to 7).
* An `Array` of `ignoreExts` (eg `['.min']`) prevents these from being considered as extension, thus are not changed - the new extension is added instead.
##### Examples / specs
`upath.changeExt(filename, '.js')` --returns-->
`'my/module.min'` ---> `'my/module.js'`
`'my/module.coffee'` ---> `'my/module.js'`
`'my/module'` ---> `'my/module.js'`
`'file/withDot.'` ---> `'file/withDot.js'`
`'file/change.longExt'` ---> `'file/change.longExt.js'`
If no `ext` param is given, it trims the current extension (if any).
`upath.changeExt(filename)` --returns-->
`'my/module.min'` ---> `'my/module'`
`'my/module.coffee'` ---> `'my/module'`
`'my/module'` ---> `'my/module'`
`'file/withDot.'` ---> `'file/withDot'`
`'file/change.longExt'` ---> `'file/change.longExt'`
It is ignoring `.min` & `.dev` as extensions, and considers exts with up to 8 chars.
`upath.changeExt(filename, 'js', ['min', '.dev'], 8)` --returns-->
`'my/module.coffee'` ---> `'my/module.js'`
`'file/notValidExt.min'` ---> `'file/notValidExt.min.js'`
`'file/notValidExt.dev'` ---> `'file/notValidExt.dev.js'`
`'file/change.longExt'` ---> `'file/change.js'`
`'file/change.longRExt'` ---> `'file/change.longRExt.js'`
#### `upath.defaultExt(filename, [ext], [ignoreExts], [maxSize=7])`
Adds `.ext` to `filename`, only if it doesn't already have _any_ *old* extension.
* (Old) extensions are considered to be up to `maxSize` chars long, counting the dot (defaults to 7).
* An `Array` of `ignoreExts` (eg `['.min']`) will force adding default `.ext` even if one of these is present.
##### Examples / specs
`upath.defaultExt(filename, 'js')` --returns-->
`'fileWith/defaultExt'` ---> `'fileWith/defaultExt.js'`
`'fileWith/defaultExt.js'` ---> `'fileWith/defaultExt.js'`
`'fileWith/defaultExt.min'` ---> `'fileWith/defaultExt.min'`
`'fileWith/defaultExt.longExt'` ---> `'fileWith/defaultExt.longExt.js'`
If no `ext` param is passed, it leaves filename intact.
`upath.defaultExt(filename)` --returns-->
`'fileWith/defaultExt'` ---> `'fileWith/defaultExt'`
`'fileWith/defaultExt.js'` ---> `'fileWith/defaultExt.js'`
`'fileWith/defaultExt.min'` ---> `'fileWith/defaultExt.min'`
`'fileWith/defaultExt.longExt'` ---> `'fileWith/defaultExt.longExt'`
It is ignoring `.min` & `.dev` as extensions, and considers exts with up to 8 chars.
`upath.defaultExt(filename, 'js', ['min', '.dev'], 8)` --returns-->
`'fileWith/defaultExt'` ---> `'fileWith/defaultExt.js'`
`'fileWith/defaultExt.min'` ---> `'fileWith/defaultExt.min.js'`
`'fileWith/defaultExt.dev'` ---> `'fileWith/defaultExt.dev.js'`
`'fileWith/defaultExt.longExt'` ---> `'fileWith/defaultExt.longExt'`
`'fileWith/defaultExt.longRext'` ---> `'fileWith/defaultExt.longRext.js'`
