Introduction

Parses the full path to current working directory.

Validates that directory actually exists.

Install

npm i parse-cwd

Example

import { parseCwd } from 'parse-cwd';

console.log(process.cwd()); // /path/to/cwd
console.log(import.meta.url); // file:///path/to/cwd/foo/bar/my-file.js

console.log(await parseCwd()); // /path/to/cwd
console.log(await parseCwd(process.cwd())); // /path/to/cwd
console.log(await parseCwd('foo/bar/my-file.js')); // /path/to/cwd/foo/bar
console.log(await parseCwd('./foo/bar/my-file.js')); // /path/to/cwd/foo/bar
console.log(await parseCwd(import.meta.url)); // /path/to/cwd/foo/bar
console.log(await parseCwd(new URL(import.meta.url))); // /path/to/cwd/foo/bar
console.log(await parseCwd({ cwd: 'foo/bar/my-file.js' })); // /path/to/cwd/foo/bar

// Error - Directory not found
await parseCwd('does/not/exist');

Usage

parse-cwd is an ESM module. That means it must be imported. To load from a CJS module, use dynamic import const { parseCwd } = await import('parse-cwd');.

API

parseCwd(cwd)

• cwd
  • file path to resolve to URL
  • Type: string or URL or null
  • optional, defaults to process.cwd()
  • Optionally wrap as an object, e.g. { cwd: '/foo/bar' }
    • Convenient for directly passing higher level options object
