always return the relative path from the current working fileπ
It means you will no longer waste time figuring out how many levels of relative path, like this one: '../../../../../../../'. When you import the library and use the getter .path, the underlying library will figure out the exact relative path prefix of the current file, whose path relative to the configure file path.jsonπ
Since the library uses ES2015 Proxy as the dependency. You'd better use the library with the Node version β₯6.
Note: Please also read the Caveats!
- Install the npm package use the command:
>> npm i -S relative.path- Add the file path.json in your project root path, this file works as the configure file. The path.json file looks like this:
{
"path": "src/lib",
"anypath1": 'abc',
"anypath2": 'abcdef',
...
"paths": ["src", "src/lib"]
}- Then, you should use the library in your js file this way:
import relative from 'relative.path';
// print: '../../../..' which relative to the 'path.json'
console.log(relative.path);
// You must use the 'require' instead of 'import' to import related library
// Though, the print out value is correct π
const lib = require(relative.path + '/src/lib/xxx');- Multiple Paths Mode
There are two choices you can opt in to denote the Multiple Paths Mode. Firstly, you can denote one random key in path.json and use the identical getter in corresponding js file. Secondly, you can also add another param paths to switch to the array Mode in the outermost level of the path.json. In the latter one case, you just append the wanted paths to the array of the key paths.
const libRandom = require(relative.randomPath + '/xxx');
const libArray = require(relative.paths[1] + '/xxx');- When you omit the file path.jsonοΌthe default path is your CWD, i.e. the root path of your project
- You must use the
requireinstead ofimportto import the file in your current file, though the print out value is correct - Any time you need more accurate infomation about the full path, plz refer to other Node.js api solutions. For example, if you want to get the path: current js directory +
xxx/yyy, you could use the Node api like this:path.resolve(__dirname, xxx/aaa, ../yyy)
