Here’s the translation of the Go code example to PureScript, formatted in Markdown suitable for Hugo:
Our example demonstrates working with file paths in PureScript. The Data.Path.Filename module provides functions to parse and construct file paths in a way that is portable between operating systems.
To run the program, save it as FilePaths.purs and use the PureScript compiler (psc) to compile it, then run it with Node.js:
This example demonstrates how to work with file paths in PureScript, including joining paths, extracting directory and file names, checking for absolute paths, handling file extensions, and finding relative paths. The Data.Path.Filename module provides a set of functions that are similar to the filepath package in other languages, allowing for portable and consistent file path manipulation across different operating systems.
