Crate sugar_path

SugarPath is a trait that provides a sugar way to manipulate path.

Main functionalities

• SugarPath::as_path makes it easy to convert T: Deref<Target = str> to Path and allows you to use methods of SugarPath on &str or String directly.

use std::path::Path;
use sugar_path::SugarPath;

assert_eq!("foo".as_path().join("bar"), Path::new("foo/bar"));
assert_eq!("foo/./bar/../baz".normalize(), "foo/baz".as_path());

• SugarPath::to_slash/SugarPath::to_slash_lossy allows you to convert the path to the string with consistent slash separator on all platforms.

use sugar_path::SugarPath;

#[cfg(target_family = "unix")]
let p = "./hello/world".as_path();

#[cfg(target_family = "windows")]
let p = ".\\hello\\world".as_path();

assert_eq!(p.to_slash().unwrap(), "./hello/world");
assert_eq!(p.to_slash_lossy(), "./hello/world");

• SugarPath::normalize allows you normalize given path by dropping unnecessary . or .. segments.

use std::path::Path;
use sugar_path::SugarPath;

assert_eq!("foo/./bar/../baz".normalize(), "foo/baz".as_path());

• SugarPath::relative allows you to get the relative path from the given path to the target path.

use sugar_path::SugarPath;

assert_eq!("/base".relative("/base/project"), "..".as_path());
assert_eq!("/base".relative("/var/lib"), "../../base".as_path());

• SugarPath::absolutize is a shortcut of SugarPath::absolutize_with with passing std::env::current_dir().unwrap() as the base path.

use sugar_path::SugarPath;
let cwd = std::env::current_dir().unwrap();
assert_eq!("hello/world".absolutize(), cwd.join("hello").join("world"));

• SugarPath::absolutize_with allows you to absolutize the given path with the base path.

use sugar_path::SugarPath;
#[cfg(target_family = "unix")]
{
  assert_eq!("./world".absolutize_with("/hello"), "/hello/world".as_path());
  assert_eq!("../world".absolutize_with("/hello"), "/world".as_path());
}
#[cfg(target_family = "windows")]
{
 assert_eq!(".\\world".absolutize_with("C:\\hello"), "C:\\hello\\world".as_path());
  assert_eq!("..\\world".absolutize_with("C:\\hello"), "C:\\world".as_path());
}
