dirname

Returns the directory portion of a path, stripping the filename.

Example

The following template extracts and prints the directory from a file path:

{  "$schema": "https://schema.croct.com/json/v1/template.json",  "title": "Dirname demo",  "description": "Prints the directory from a path.",  "options": {    "path": {      "type": "string",      "description": "The file path.",      "default": "src/components/Card.tsx"    }  },  "actions": [    {      "name": "print",      "message": "Directory: ${dirname(options.path)}"    }  ]}

With the default value, this prints Directory: src/components.

Parameters

path

string

The file path to extract the directory from.

Return

The directory portion of the path.

For example, dirname('src/components/Button.tsx') returns src/components. If the path has no directory part, returns ..
