<p>The <code>node:path</code> module provides utilities for working with file and directory paths. It can be accessed using:</p> <pre><code class="language-js"><span class="hljs-keyword">const</span> path = <span class="hljs-built_in">require</span>(<span class="hljs-string">'node:path'</span>);</code></pre> <section><h3>Windows vs. POSIX<span><a class="mark" href="#windows-vs-posix" id="windows-vs-posix">#</a></span><a aria-hidden="true" class="legacy" id="path_windows_vs_posix"></a></h3> <p>The default operation of the <code>node:path</code> module varies based on the operating system on which a Node.js application is running. Specifically, when running on a Windows operating system, the <code>node:path</code> module will assume that Windows-style paths are being used.</p> <p>So using <code>path.basename()</code> might yield different results on POSIX and Windows:</p> <p>On POSIX:</p> <pre><code class="language-js">path.<span class="hljs-title function_">basename</span>(<span class="hljs-string">'C:\\temp\\myfile.html'</span>); <span class="hljs-comment">// Returns: 'C:\\temp\\myfile.html'</span></code></pre> <p>On Windows:</p> <pre><code class="language-js">path.<span class="hljs-title function_">basename</span>(<span class="hljs-string">'C:\\temp\\myfile.html'</span>); <span class="hljs-comment">// Returns: 'myfile.html'</span></code></pre> <p>To achieve consistent results when working with Windows file paths on any operating system, use <a href="#pathwin32"><code>path.win32</code></a>:</p> <p>On POSIX and Windows:</p> <pre><code class="language-js">path.<span class="hljs-property">win32</span>.<span class="hljs-title function_">basename</span>(<span class="hljs-string">'C:\\temp\\myfile.html'</span>); <span class="hljs-comment">// Returns: 'myfile.html'</span></code></pre> <p>To achieve consistent results when working with POSIX file paths on any operating system, use <a href="#pathposix"><code>path.posix</code></a>:</p> <p>On POSIX and Windows:</p> <pre><code class="language-js">path.<span class="hljs-property">posix</span>.<span class="hljs-title function_">basename</span>(<span class="hljs-string">'/tmp/myfile.html'</span>); <span class="hljs-comment">// Returns: 'myfile.html'</span></code></pre> <p>On Windows Node.js follows the concept of per-drive working directory. This behavior can be observed when using a drive path without a backslash. For example, <code>path.resolve('C:\\')</code> can potentially return a different result than <code>path.resolve('C:')</code>.
