@dephub/path 🗺️

Path resolution utilities for Node.js with ESM support - cwd and dirname helpers.

Features ✨

• 📁 Current Working Directory - Resolve paths relative to current working directory
• 📄 Module Directory - ESM-friendly replacement for __dirname
• 🎯 TypeScript Ready - Full type safety with zero configuration
• ⚡ Lightweight - Minimal utilities focused on path resolution

Installation 📦

npm install @dephub/path
# or
pnpm add @dephub/path
# or
yarn add @dephub/path

Usage 🎯

Resolve Paths from Current Directory

import { cwd } from '@dephub/path';

// Get current working directory
console.log(cwd()); // /Users/user/project

// Resolve relative paths
const configPath = cwd('config', 'app.json');
// -> /Users/user/project/config/app.json

Resolve Paths from Module Directory

import { dirname } from '@dephub/path';

// In file: /project/src/utils/helpers.ts
const utilsDir = dirname(import.meta);
// -> /project/src/utils

const dataPath = dirname(import.meta, 'data.json');
// -> /project/src/utils/data.json

Real-world Example

import { cwd, dirname } from '@dephub/path';
import { readFile } from '@dephub/read';
import { writeFile } from '@dephub/write';

// Read config from project root
const config = await readFile(cwd('config.json'));

// Write output relative to current module
await writeFile(
  dirname(import.meta, 'output', 'result.json'),
  JSON.stringify(result, null, 2),
);
