How can I convert a windows path to posix path using node path

Question

I\'m developing on windows, but need to know how to convert a windows path (with backslashes \\) into a POSIX path with forward slashes (/)?

Answer 1

Given that all the other answers rely on installing (large) third party modules: this can also be done as a one-liner for relative paths (which you should be using 99.999% of the time) using Node's standard library path module, and more specifically, taking advantage of its dedicated path.posix and path.win32 namespaced properties/functions:

const path = require("path");

// ...

const definitelyPosix = somePathString.split(path.sep).join(path.posix.sep);

This will convert your path to POSIX format irrespective of whether you're already on POSIX platforms, or on win32, while requiring zero dependencies.
