I'm developing on windows, but need to know how to convert a windows path (with backslashes \
) into a POSIX path with forward slashes (/
)?
My goal is to convert C:\repos\vue-t\tests\views\index\home.vue
to C:/repos/vue-t/tests/views/index/home.vue
so I can use it in an import on a file I'm writing to the disk
const appImport = `
import Vue from "vue"
import App from '${path}'
function createApp (data) {
const app = new Vue({
data,
render: h => h(App)
})
return app
}`
//this string is then written to the disk as a file
I'd prefer not to .replace(/\\/g, '/')
the string, and would rather prefer to use a require('path')
function.
Slash converts windows backslash paths to Unix paths
Usage:
const path = require('path');
const slash = require('slash');
const str = path.join('foo', 'bar');
slash(str);
// Unix => foo/bar
// Windows => foo/bar
