| # path-browserify [](https://travis-ci.org/browserify/path-browserify) |
| |
| > The `path` module from Node.js for browsers |
| |
| This implements the Node.js [`path`][path] module for environments that do not have it, like browsers. |
| |
| > `path-browserify` currently matches the **Node.js 10.3** API. |
| |
| ## Install |
| |
| You usually do not have to install `path-browserify` yourself! If your code runs in Node.js, `path` is built in. If your code runs in the browser, bundlers like [browserify](https://github.com/browserify/browserify) or [webpack](https://github.com/webpack/webpack) include the `path-browserify` module by default. |
| |
| But if none of those apply, with npm do: |
| |
| ``` |
| npm install path-browserify |
| ``` |
| |
| ## Usage |
| |
| ```javascript |
| var path = require('path') |
| |
| var filename = 'logo.png'; |
| var logo = path.join('./assets/img', filename); |
| document.querySelector('#logo').src = logo; |
| ``` |
| |
| ## API |
| |
| See the [Node.js path docs][path]. `path-browserify` currently matches the Node.js 10.3 API. |
| `path-browserify` only implements the POSIX functions, not the win32 ones. |
| |
| ## Contributing |
| |
| PRs are very welcome! The main way to contribute to `path-browserify` is by porting features, bugfixes and tests from Node.js. Ideally, code contributions to this module are copy-pasted from Node.js and transpiled to ES5, rather than reimplemented from scratch. Matching the Node.js code as closely as possible makes maintenance simpler when new changes land in Node.js. |
| This module intends to provide exactly the same API as Node.js, so features that are not available in the core `path` module will not be accepted. Feature requests should instead be directed at [nodejs/node](https://github.com/nodejs/node) and will be added to this module once they are implemented in Node.js. |
| |
| If there is a difference in behaviour between Node.js's `path` module and this module, please open an issue! |
