> Convert Windows backslash paths to slash paths: `foo\\bar` ➔ `foo/bar` | |
[Forward-slash paths can be used in Windows](http://superuser.com/a/176395/6877) as long as they're not extended-length paths and don't contain any non-ascii characters. | |
This was created since the `path` methods in Node.js outputs `\\` paths on Windows. | |
## Install | |
``` | |
$ npm install slash | |
``` | |
## Usage | |
```js | |
const path = require('path'); | |
const slash = require('slash'); | |
const string = path.join('foo', 'bar'); | |
// Unix => foo/bar | |
// Windows => foo\\bar | |
slash(string); | |
// Unix => foo/bar | |
// Windows => foo/bar | |
``` | |
## API | |
### slash(path) | |
Type: `string` | |
Accepts a Windows backslash path and returns a path with forward slashes. | |
