To convert a file path to URL format (percent-encoding) using the path package in Node.js, you can follow the steps below:
Install the path package if you haven't already done so. You can use the following command to install it:
npm install path
Require the path package in your Node.js file:
const path = require('path');
Use the pathToUrl()
function to convert the file path to URL format. This function generates a percent-encoded URL string from a file path:
const filePath = '/path/to/my file.txt';
const url = path.pathToUrl(filePath);
Finally, the url
variable will contain the file path converted to URL format.
Note: The pathToUrl()
function is available in Node.js version 12.0.0 and above.
