Gleam library for working with unix paths

pathlib

pathlib is a Gleam library for working with filesystem paths on Unix systems. Analogous modules are Elixir's Path or Python's os.path.

Usage

let test_path = "/opt/installation/bin/client"

// Test if the path is rooted
pathlib.is_absolute(test_path) // -> True
pathlib.is_relative(test_path) // -> False

// Remove root and trailing slash
pathlib.trim_separator(test_path) // -> "opt/installation/bin/client"

// basename & dirname
pathlib.basename(test_path) // -> "client"
pathlib.dirname(test_path)  // -> "/opt/installation/bin"

// split & join
pathlib.split(test_path)           // -> ["opt", "installation", "bin", "client"]
pathlib.join(["usr", "bin", "ls"]) // -> "/usr/bin/ls"
