Stacks Path

Stacks Path

100+ path builder functions for every framework directory.

Key Path

• Core package: storage/framework/core/path/src/

Node.js Path Re-exports

basename, delimiter, dirname, extname, isAbsolute, join, normalize, parse, relative, resolve, sep, toNamespacedPath

Framework Path Builders

All accept an optional relative path suffix and return absolute paths.

Build & Output Paths

buildEnginePath()
libsEntriesPath()
frameworkPath()                    // ~/storage/framework
corePath()                         // ~/storage/framework/core

defaultsAppPath()
defaultsResourcesPath()

Relative Path Variants

Most paths have relative* variants:

relativeActionsPath()
relativeAppPath()

Path with Suffix

appPath('Models/User.ts')           // ~/app/Models/User.ts
databasePath('migrations')          // ~/storage/framework/core/database/migrations
configPath('app.ts')                // ~/config/app.ts

Gotchas

• Always use @stacksjs/path instead of Node's path for framework paths
• All paths resolve to absolute paths by default
• Most functions accept an optional relative path suffix
• relative* variants return paths relative to project root
• user*Path() functions point to application-level directories (app/)
• built*Path() functions point to compiled output directories
• Path is a dependency of almost every framework package
• Some paths accept options with relative flag
