Node.js Path Module

The path module in Node.js is used to work with file and directory paths.

Example

const path = require("path");

const filePath = "/students/projects/index.html";

console.log("File name:", path.basename(filePath));
console.log("Extension:", path.extname(filePath));
console.log("Directory:", path.dirname(filePath));
        

Common Path Methods

• basename() - Gets the file name
• dirname() - Gets the directory name
• extname() - Gets the file extension
• join() - Joins path sections
