path

import { path } from "@tynd/core/client";

Small synchronous path utilities. Platform-aware via navigator.platform detection. No round-trip to Rust — these run entirely in the WebView / JS runtime.

sep(): "/" | "\\"

Platform path separator.

path.sep();   // "\\" on Windows, "/" elsewhere

join(...parts: string[]): string

Joins path segments with the platform separator, collapsing duplicate slashes.

path.join("/tmp", "notes", "hello.md");   // "/tmp/notes/hello.md"
path.join("C:\\", "Users", "me");          // "C:\\Users\\me" on Windows

Empty strings are ignored.

dirname(p: string): string

Parent directory of the path.

path.dirname("/tmp/notes/hello.md");   // "/tmp/notes"
path.dirname("/tmp");                   // ""

basename(p: string, ext?: string): string

Last segment, optionally with an extension stripped.

path.basename("/tmp/notes/hello.md");         // "hello.md"
path.basename("/tmp/notes/hello.md", ".md");   // "hello"

extname(p: string): string

File extension including the leading dot, or "" if none.

path.extname("hello.md");   // ".md"
path.extname("Makefile");    // ""

Notes

• Synchronous. These functions do not return promises — they run in the WebView.
• No resolve(), normalize(), or isAbsolute() — compose them yourself or use URL / framework helpers if you need them.
• Absolute paths are produced by joining from a known root (await os.homeDir(), etc.) — not by a resolve function.

• fs — every fs.* method accepts path strings.
• os — homeDir, dataDir, tmpDir, etc. for building absolute paths.
