path

path

path provides functions to manipulate directories and file paths. It is inspired by pathlib module from Mojo.

Functions

abs(path) string

Returns an absolute representation of path. If the path is not absolute it will be joined with the current working directory to turn it into an absolute path. The absolute path name for a given file is not guaranteed to be unique.

Parameters

Examples

String

Convert a relative path to an absolute path.

load("path", "abs")
p = abs('.')
print(p)
# Output: '/current/absolute/path'

join(path, *paths) string

Joins one or more path elements into a single path intelligently, separating them with an OS specific separator. Empty elements are ignored.

Parameters

Examples

String

Join multiple path parts.

load("path", "join")
p = join('a', 'b', 'c')
print(p)
# Output: 'a/b/c'

exists(path) bool

Returns true if the path exists.

Parameters

Examples

String

Check if a path exists.

load("path", "exists")
p = exists('path_test.go')
print(p)
# Output: True

is_file(path) bool

Returns true if the path exists and is a file.

Parameters

Examples

String

Check if a path is a file.

load("path", "is_file")
p = is_file('path_test.go')
print(p)
# Output: True

is_dir(path) bool

Returns true if the path exists and is a directory.

Parameters

Examples

String

Check if a path is a directory.

load("path", "is_dir")
p = is_dir('.')
print(p)
# Output: True

is_link(path) bool

Returns true if the path exists and is a symbolic link.

Parameters

Examples

String

Check if a path is a symbolic link.

load("path", "is_link")
p = is_link('link_to_path_test.go')
print(p)
# Output: False

listdir(path, recursive=False) []string

Returns a list of directory contents.

Parameters

Examples

String

List directory contents.

load("path", "listdir")
p = listdir('.')
print(p)
# Output: ['file1', 'file2', ...]

getcwd() string

Returns the current working directory.

Examples

String

Get the current working directory.

load("path", "getcwd")
p = getcwd()
print(p)
# Output: '/current/directory'

chdir(path)

Changes the current working directory.

Parameters

Examples

String

Change the current working directory.

load("path", "chdir")
chdir('/new/directory')
# Current directory is now '/new/directory'
