path

The path module provides utilities for working with file and directory paths.

This package is also accessible with window.__TAURI__.path when build.withGlobalTauri in tauri.conf.json is set to true.

The APIs must be added to tauri.allowlist.path in tauri.conf.json:

{
"tauri": {
"allowlist": {
"path": {
"all": true, // enable all Path APIs
}
}
}
}

It is recommended to allowlist only the APIs you use for optimal bundle size and security.
