node-clean-up-path

Installation

npm install --save clean-up-path

Usage

let cleanUpPath = require("clean-up-path");

let absolutePath = cleanUpPath(somePath);

// Now safely use p as a symlink target, etc.

cleanUpPath(p) is similar to path.resolve(p), but it is faster for paths that are already resolved, and on Windows it turns LFS paths (c:\foo) into long UNC paths (\\?\c:\foo) to deal with path length limitations.

Unlike path.resolve, it does not guarantee that the returned path contains no .. or . segments.
