Node js Get folder path from a file

Question

Is there a way to get the path to a folder that holds a particular file.

fs.realpathSync('config.json', []); 

returns something like

G:\node-demos\7-node-module\demo\config.json 

I just need

G:\node-demos\7-node-module\demo\  or G:\node-demos\7-node-module\demo\ 

Is there any api for this or will I need to process the string?

Answer 1

use path.dirname

// onlyPath should be G:\node-demos\7-handlebars-watch\demo var onlyPath = require('path').dirname('G:\\node-demos\\7-node-module\\demo\\config.json');
