desm

The missing one-liner utility to get the dirname from import.meta.url.

Requires Node 12.17.0 or Node 14.0.0.

Starting in Node 20.11.0 and Node 21.2.0 this is now built in: import.meta.dirname / import.meta.filename

Install

npm i desm

Usage

import desm from 'desm'

console.log(desm(import.meta.url))

or

import { dirname, filename, join } from 'desm'

// same as CommonJS __dirname
console.log(dirname(import.meta.url))

// same as CommonJS __filename
console.log(filename(import.meta.url))

// same as CommonJS path.join(__dirname, 'routes')
console.log(join(import.meta.url, 'routes'))

// same as CommonJS path.join(__dirname, '..', 'other')
console.log(join(import.meta.url, '..', 'other'))
