A user-friendly path handling library
Work in progress, pull requests welcome.
Example
Full example here https://github.com/Hanaasagi/pathlib-zig/tree/master/examples
const std = @import("std");
const pathlib = @import("pathlib").PathLib;
const Path = @import("pathlib").Path;
pub fn main() !void {
// First, initialize this library.
// The allocator will only be used when additional memory allocation is required,
// such as when joining paths.
const lib = pathlib.init(std.heap.page_allocator);
// There are three ways to obtain a Path object, starting from the lib object.
// 1. Get the current working directory.
const cwd = try lib.cwd();
defer cwd.deinit();
std.debug.print("current working directory => {s}\n", .{cwd.toSlice()});
// 2. Get home directory.
const home = lib.home();
defer home.deinit();
std.debug.print("home directory => {s}\n\n", .{home.toSlice()});
// 3. From any slice
const zPath = lib.fromSlice("~/zig");
defer zPath.deinit();
std.debug.print("just an arbitrary path => {s}\n", .{zPath.toSlice()});
// After obtaining a Path object, we can process it.
// expand the `~`
std.debug.print("expand it's `~` => {s}\n\n", .{(try zPath.expanduser()).toSlice()});
// ...
}
