How to convert a file path to URL format (percent-encoding) using the path package?

To convert a file path to URL format (percent-encoding) using the path package in Node.js, you can follow the steps below:

  1. Install the path package if you haven't already done so. You can use the following command to install it:

    npm install path
  2. Require the path package in your Node.js file:

    const path = require('path');
  3. 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);
  4. 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.
