file - How to determine the OS path separator in JavaScript?

Question

How can I tell in JavaScript what path separator is used in the OS where the script is running?

Answer 1

Use path module in node.js returns the platform-specific file separator.
example

path.sep  // on *nix evaluates to a string equal to "/"

Edit: As per Sebas's comment below, to use this, you need to add this at the top of your js file:

const path = require('path')
