Normalize slashes in a file path to be posix/unix-like forward slashes. Also condenses repeat slashes to a single slash and removes and trailing slashes, unless disabled.

Please consider following this project's author, Jon Schlinkert, and consider starring the project to show your :heart: and support.

Install

Install with npm:

$ npm install --save normalize-path

Usage

const normalize = require('normalize-path');
 
console.log(normalize('\\foo\\bar\\baz\\')); 
//=> '/foo/bar/baz' 

win32 namespaces

console.log(normalize('\\\\?\\UNC\\Server01\\user\\docs\\Letter.txt')); 
//=> '//?/UNC/Server01/user/docs/Letter.txt'
 
console.log(normalize('\\\\.\\CdRomX')); 
//=> '//./CdRomX' 

Consecutive slashes

Condenses multiple consecutive forward slashes (except for leading slashes in win32 namespaces) to a single slash.

console.log(normalize('.//foo//bar///////baz/'));

//=> './foo/bar/baz'

Trailing slashes

By default trailing slashes are removed. Pass false as the last argument to disable this behavior and keep trailing slashes:

console.log(normalize('foo\\bar\\baz\\', false)); //=> 'foo/bar/baz/'

console.log(normalize('./foo/bar/baz/', false)); //=> './foo/bar/baz/'

Release history

v3.0

No breaking changes in this release.

a check was added to ensure that win32 namespaces are handled properly by win32 path.parse() after a path has been normalized by this library.
a minor optimization was made to simplify how the trailing separator was handled
