Pathre consists of validation and get functions which make dealing with path super simple and easy 👌

Usage

• isPathValid
• isPathDir
• isPathFile
• isExist
• isFileZeroSize

Get functions

• directory
• fileName
• fileExt
• fileStat
• pathType
• pathStat

Getting Started

clone the repo:

git clone git@github.com:jimmy02020/pathre.git
cd pathre

Using npm:

$ npm install pathre

Validation:

const { check } = require('pathre')

isPathValid(path)

Validate given path. If path is valid returns true, otherwise returns false.

Example

check.isPathValid('whatever') // false
check.isPathValid(path.join(__dirname)) // true

isPathDir(path)

If path is for directory (not file) returns true, otherwise returns false.

Example

check.isPathDir('/path/here/') // true
check.isPathDir('/path/here/test.txt') // false

isPathFile(path)

If path is for file (not directory) returns true, otherwise returns false.

Example

check.isPathFile('/path/here/test.txt') // true

isExist(path, callback)

If path is valid/existent returns true, otherwise returns false.

NOTE: Path can be valid path but not for existence path. If you check for existence use isExist if you validate the path before create it use isValid.

Example

isExist('/here/dir', (isExsist) => {
  if(isExsist){
    // do something
    console.log("valid");
  } else {
    // do something else
    console.log("invalid");
  }
})

isFileZeroSize(path, callback)

If file is valid and zero size then true, otherwise returns false.

Example

isFileZeroSize('/here/dir/empty.txt', (isZero) => {
  if(isZero){
    // do something
    console.log("file is empty");
  } else {
    // do something else
    console.log("file has info in it empty");
  }
})

Get functions:

const { get } = require('pathre')

directory(path)

Returns string has directory name, whether the path is with file name or without it.

Example

get.directory('/path/here/.env.test') // '/path/here

fileName(path)

Returns string has file name.

Example

get.fileName('/path/here/.env.test') // .env.test

fileExt(path)

Returns string has file extension.

Example

get.fileExt('/path/here/.env.test') // env
get.fileExt('/path/here/filename.txt') // txt

fileStat(path, callback)

Gets text statistics from file. The function is implementation of textics-stream

The callback gets two arguments (err, stat).

stat object consists of:

• lines
• words
• chars
• spaces

Example

get.fileStat('dir/dir2/file.txt', (err, stat) => {
  console.log(stat);
  //
  {
    lines: 1830,
    words: 4483,
    chars: 12584,
    spaces: 3004,
  }
  //
});

pathType(path)

Gets path type, file or directory.

returns {isDir, isFile}.

Example

const type = get.pathType('dir/here/emptyfile.txt')
console.log(type);
//
{
  isDir: false,
  isFile: true,
}
//

pathStat(path, callback)

Gets the main properties from path.

The callback gets two arguments (err, stat).

stat object consists of:

• isValid
• isDir
• isFile
• size

Example

get.pathStat('dir/here/emptyfile.txt', (err, stat) => {
  console.log(stat);
  //
  {
    isValid: true,
    isDir: false,
    isFile: true,
    size: 0,
  }
  //
});

Tests

$ npm test
