Node.js path.parse() Method

Last Updated : 13 Oct, 2021
The path.parse() method is used to return an object whose properties represent the given path. This method returns the following properties:
  • root (root name)
  • dir (directory name)
  • base (filename with extension)
  • ext (only extension)
  • name (only filename)
The values of these properties may be different for every platform. It ignores the platform's trailing directory separators during parsing. Syntax: 
path.parse( path )
Parameters: This method accepts single parameter path which holds the file path that would be parsed by the method. It throws a TypeError if this parameter is not a string value. Return Value: This method returns an object with the details of the path. Below examples illustrate the path.parse() method in node.js: Example 1: On POSIX Output: 
{
 root: '/',
 dir: '/users/admin/website',
 base: 'index.html',
 ext: '.html',
 name: 'index'
}
{
 root: '',
 dir: 'website',
 base: 'readme.md',
 ext: '.md',
 name: 'readme'
}
Example 2: On Windows Output: 
{
 root: 'C:\\',
 dir: 'C:\\users\\admin\\website',
 base: 'index.html',
 ext: '.html',
 name: 'index'
}
{
 root: '',
 dir: 'website',
 base: 'style.css',
 ext: '.css',
 name: 'style'
}
