basename

Learn how to extract the filename from a path.

Returns the filename portion of a path, optionally without the extension.

Example

The following template extracts and prints the filename from a path, with and without the extension:

template.json5
{  "$schema": "https://schema.croct.com/json/v1/template.json",  "title": "Basename demo",  "description": "Prints the filename from a path.",  "options": {    "file": {      "type": "string",      "description": "The file path.",      "default": "src/components/Button.tsx"    }  },  "actions": [    {      "name": "print",      "message": "Full: ${basename(options.file)}, without extension: ${basename(options.file, true)}"    }  ]}

With the default value, this prints Full: Button.tsx, without extension: Button.

Parameters

path
string

The file path to extract the filename from.

omitExtension(optional)
boolean

Whether to omit the file extension from the result.

Default:false

Return

The filename portion of the path.

For example, basename('src/components/Button.tsx') returns Button.tsx, and basename('src/components/Button.tsx', true) returns Button.
