cross-dirname

Node.js + Gjs + Deno module that returns the current script dirname and filename. Similar to __dirname and __filename but also works in CommonJs and ES modules.

Installation

On Node.js and GJS you can install the package as with NPM:

``
npm install cross-dirname --save
`

On Deno you just need to import this package:

`ts
import { getDirname, getFilename } from 'https://deno.land/x/cross_dirname/mod.ts';
`

Usage

Please do not use getDirname and getFilename in nested other methods, instead always use them in the root of your file, otherwise it may return wrong results.

$3

`js
// /path/to/the/script.mjs
import { getDirname, getFilename } from 'cross-dirname'

console.log(getDirname()) // outputs "/path/to/the"
console.log(getFilename()) // outputs "/path/to/the/script.mjs"
`

$3

`js
// /path/to/the/script.cjs
const { getDirname, getFilename } = require('cross-dirname');

console.log(getDirname() === __dirname) // true
console.log(getFilename() === __filename) // true
`

$3

`ts
// /path/to/the/script.ts
import { getDirname, getFilename } from 'https://deno.land/x/cross_dirname@v0.0.4/mod.ts';

console.log(getDirname()); // outputs "/path/to/the"
console.log(getFilename()); // outputs "/path/to/the/script.ts"
`

You can use NPM packages in GJS with a bundler like esbuild.

Take a look at the examples for an GJS + esbuild example, you can start the example like this:

`bash


Install dev dependencies

npm install

Go to the example

cd examples/gjs

Bundle src/index.js

node esbuild.mjs

Run the bundled index.js

gjs -m index.js
`

$3

You can run the examples with

`bash

npm install
npm run build

deno run ./examples/deno/index.ts


-> /.../examples/deno

node ./examples/node/index.cjs


-> /.../examples/node

node ./examples/node/index.mjs


-> /.../examples/node

node ./examples/gjs/esbuild.mjs
gjs -m ./examples/gjs/index.js


-> /.../examples/gjs
