The path-browserify package provides the Node.js path module for browser environments. This allows developers to use familiar path manipulation utilities such as path.join, path.resolve, and path.dirname within their client-side JavaScript code. It's crucial for projects migrating server-side logic or requiring cross-platform path handling in the browser, offering a consistent API and simplifying porting efforts where file paths are involved.
The npm package path-browserify has had infrequent releases. Initially released in December 2013, it saw no updates for several years. Two versions were released in June 2018, followed by another release in March 2020. Since then, there have been no new versions published as of September 2025, indicating a period of inactivity.
Path-browserify downloads show a general upward trend from March 2024 to July 2025, peaking at over 95 million. August 2025 saw a decrease, and September 2025 (partial data) shows a significant drop, likely due to the month not being complete yet.
