Path handling

The runtime:path module provides utilities for working with file and directory paths. It is similar to Node.js's path module.

Usage

JavaScript

import { join, resolve, basename, dirname, extname } from "runtime:path";

const p = join("docs", "path", "page.jsx");
console.log(p); // docs/path/page.jsx

console.log(basename(p)); // page.jsx
console.log(dirname(p));  // docs/path
console.log(extname(p));  // .jsx

Working with import.meta.url

Every ES module provides an import.meta.url which is a fully resolved file:// URL pointing to the absolute path of the current module. You can use the fromFileURL utility to convert it into an absolute file path.

JavaScript

import { dirname, fromFileURL } from "runtime:path";

// 1. Get the absolute file path of the current module
const __filename = fromFileURL(import.meta.url);

// 2. Get the directory name of the current module
const __dirname = dirname(__filename);

console.log("Current module is at:", __filename);
console.log("Current directory is:", __dirname);
