commondir efficiently finds the common parent directory of a set of file paths. It's a lightweight dependency useful for build tools and utilities that need to determine the deepest directory shared by multiple files. Unlike simple string comparisons, commondir correctly handles different path separators and edge cases, ensuring accurate results across various operating systems. Often valuable when minimizing output or creating relative paths based on a shared context.
The npm package commondir has infrequent releases. Initial releases occurred in June and November 2011. A burst of three versions were published in March 2015. Since then, there have been no new releases for over 10 years, indicating a dormant or very stable package.
Commondir npm package downloads saw strong growth through mid-2025, peaking in June and July. August saw a dip, and September, currently incomplete, shows a significant decrease. Overall, downloads demonstrated a general upward trend before the recent decline.
