stdlib-jsWe believe in a future in which the web is a preferred environment for numerical computation. To help realize this future, we've built stdlib. stdlib is a standard library, with an emphasis on numerical and scientific computation, written in JavaScript (and C) for execution in browsers and in Node.js.
The library is fully decomposable, being architected in such a way that you can swap out and mix and match APIs and functionality to cater to your exact preferences and use cases.
When you use stdlib, you can be absolutely certain that you are using the most thorough, rigorous, well-written, studied, documented, tested, measured, and high-quality code out there.
To join us in bringing numerical computing to the web, get started by checking us out on GitHub, and please consider financially supporting stdlib. We greatly appreciate your continued support!
chdir
[![NPM version][npm-image]][npm-url] [![Build Status][test-image]][test-url] [![Coverage Status][coverage-image]][coverage-url]
Change the current working directory.
bash
npm install @stdlib/process-chdir
javascript
var chdir = require( '@stdlib/process-chdir' );
#### chdir( path )
Changes the current working directory to the specified path.
javascript
var err = chdir( '/foo/bar' );
If the function encounters an error when attempting to change the working directory, the function returns an error; otherwise, the function returns null.
javascript
var cwd = require( '@stdlib/process-cwd' );
var chdir = require( '@stdlib/process-chdir' );
// Print the current working directory:
var dir = cwd();
console.log( dir );
// Change the current working directory to the directory of this file:
var err = chdir( __dirname );
if ( err ) {
console.error( err.message );
}
// Print the current working directory:
console.log( cwd() );
// Change the current working directory back to the original directory:
err = chdir( dir );
if ( err ) {
console.error( err.message );
}
// Print the current working directory:
console.log( cwd() );
@stdlib/process-cwd][@stdlib/process/cwd]: return the current working directory.
