Last Updated :

The path.isAbsolute() method is used to check whether the given path is an absolute path or not. An absolute path is defined as a path that contains the complete details needed to locate a file.
Syntax:
path.isAbsolute( path )
Parameters: This method accepts single parameter path which holds the file path that would be used to check if it is an absolute path. A TypeError is thrown if this parameter is not a string.
Return Value: It returns a Boolean value indicating whether the path is an absolute path. It returns ‘false’ if the path is of zero-length.
Below programs illustrate the path.isAbsolute() method in node.js:
Example 1:
const path = require( 'path' );
path1 = path.isAbsolute( "/user/bash/" );
console.log(path1);
path2 = path.isAbsolute( "user/bash/readme.md" );
console.log(path2);
path3 = path.isAbsolute( "/user/bash/readme.md" );
console.log(path3);
path4 = path.isAbsolute( ".." );
console.log(path4);
|
Output:
true
false
true
false
Example 2:
const path = require( 'path' );
path1 = path.isAbsolute( "\\user\\bash\\" );
console.log(path1);
path2 = path.isAbsolute( "user\\bash\\readme.md" );
console.log(path2);
path3 = path.isAbsolute( "\\user\\bash\\readme.md" );
console.log(path3);
path4 = path.isAbsolute( ".." );
console.log(path4);

Output:
true
false
true
false
