How to resolve and expand a relative path to an absolute path using the path package in Golang?

To resolve and expand a relative path to an absolute path using the path package in Golang, you can follow these steps:

  1. Import the necessary packages:
import ( "path" "fmt" "os" )
  1. Define the relative path you want to resolve:
relativePath := "./path/to/file.txt"
  1. Expand the relative path to an absolute path using the path.Join() function, along with os.Getwd() to get the current working directory:
absolutePath := path.Join(os.Getwd(), relativePath)
  1. Print the resolved absolute path:
fmt.Println(absolutePath)

Here's the complete code snippet:

package main import ( "path" "fmt" "os" ) func main() { relativePath := "./path/to/file.txt" absolutePath := path.Join(os.Getwd(), relativePath) fmt.Println(absolutePath) }

This code will resolve and expand the relative path to an absolute path and print it to the console.
