Sugar functions for manipulating paths.
- [Documents](https://docs.rs/sugar_path/latest/sugar_path/)
## Main functionalities
- [SugarPath::as_path](https://docs.rs/sugar_path/latest/sugar_path/trait.SugarPath.html#tymethod.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.
```rust
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](https://docs.rs/sugar_path/latest/sugar_path/trait.SugarPath.html#tymethod.to_slash)/[SugarPath::to_slash_lossy](https://docs.rs/sugar_path/latest/sugar_path/trait.SugarPath.html#tymethod.to_slash_lossy) allows you to convert the path to the string with consistent slash separator on all platforms.
```rust
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](https://docs.rs/sugar_path/latest/sugar_path/trait.SugarPath.html#tymethod.normalize) allows you normalize given path by dropping unnecessary `.` or `..` segments.
```rust
use std::path::Path;
use sugar_path::SugarPath;
assert_eq!("foo/./bar/../baz".normalize(), "foo/baz".as_path());
```
- [SugarPath::relative](https://docs.rs/sugar_path/latest/sugar_path/trait.SugarPath.html#tymethod.relative) allows you to get the relative path from the given path to the target path.
```rust
use sugar_path::SugarPath;
assert_eq!("/base".relative("/base/project"), "..".as_path());
assert_eq!("/base".relative("/var/lib"), "../../base".as_path());
```
- [SugarPath::absolutize](https://docs.rs/sugar_path/latest/sugar_path/trait.SugarPath.html#tymethod.absolutize) is a shortcut of [SugarPath::absolutize_with](https://docs.rs/sugar_path/latest/sugar_path/trait.SugarPath.html#tymethod.absolutize_with) with passing `std::env::current_dir().unwrap()` as the base path.
```rust
use sugar_path::SugarPath;
let cwd = std::env::current_dir().unwrap();
assert_eq!("hello/world".absolutize(), cwd.join("hello").join("world"));
```
- [SugarPath::absolutize_with](https://docs.rs/sugar_path/latest/sugar_path/trait.SugarPath.html#tymethod.absolutize_with) allows you to absolutize the given path with the base path.
```rust
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());
}
```
