Node.js fs.Dir.path() Method
The fs.Dir.path() method is an inbuilt application programming interface of class fs.Dir within the File System module which is used to get the path of the directory.
Syntax:
const dir.path
Parameter: This method does not accept any parameter.
Return Value: This method returns the path of the directory.
Example 1: The below programs illustrate the use of fs.Dir.path() method.
Filename: index.js
Javascript
// Node.js program to demonstrate the// dir.path() methodconst fs = require('fs');// Initiating async functionasync function stop(path) { // Creating and initiating directory's // underlying resource handle const dir = await fs.promises.opendir(path); console.log("All the dirent before operation :- "); for (let i = 0; i <= 2; i++) { console.log(((dir.readSync())).name); } // Getting the path of the directory // by using path() method const pathval = dir.path; console.log("All the dirent after operation :- "); for (let i = 0; i <= 2; i++) { console.log(((dir.readSync())).name); } // Display the result console.log("\nPath :- " + pathval);}// Catching errorstop('./').catch(console.error); |
Run the index.js file using the following command:
node index.js
Output:
All the dirent before operation :- books.txt datastore.json example.txt All the dirent after operation :- index.js node_modules package-lock.json Path :- ./
Example 2: The below programs illustrate the use of fs.Dir.path() method
Filename: index.js
Javascript
// Node.js program to demonstrate the// dir.path() methodconst fs = require('fs');const fsPromises = fs.promises;// Name of the directory to be createdlet directo = './temp';// Checking if the directory is// present or notif (!fs.existsSync(directo)) { fs.mkdirSync(directo);}// Initiating asynchronise functionasync function funct(path) { // Initializing dir let dir = null; let pathval = null; try { // Creating and initiating directory's // underlying resource handle dir = await fs.promises.opendir('./'); console.log("All the dirent before operation :- " + ((dir.readSync()))); // Getting the path of the directory // by using path() method pathval = dir.path; } finally { if (dir) { // Close the file if it is opened. console.log("Path :- " + pathval); console.log("All the dirent after operation :- " + ((dir.readSync()))); await dir.close(); } }}funct('./').catch(console.error); |
Run the index.js file using the following command:
node index.js
Output:
All the dirent before operation :- [object Object] Path :- ./ All the dirent after operation :- [object Object]
