Path Functions

You can use path functions to perform operations on valid path strings.

join(path: string, extra: string) -> string

Extend a path; you can extend both directory and file paths.

local current_path = "~/hello/dioxus"
local new_path = plugin.path.join(current_path, "world")
-- new_path = "~/hello/dioxus/world"

parent(path: string) -> string

Return the parent path of the specified path. The parent path is always a directory.

local current_path = "~/hello/dioxus"
local new_path = plugin.path.parent(current_path)
-- new_path = "~/hello/"

exists(path: string) -> boolean

Check if the specified path exists, as either a file or a directory.

is_file(path: string) -> boolean

Check if the specified path is a file.

is_dir(path: string) -> boolean

Check if the specified path is a directory.
