relative function
Attempts to convert path
to an equivalent relative path from the current
directory.
// Given current directory is /root/path:
p.relative('/root/path/a/b.dart'); // -> 'a/b.dart'
p.relative('/root/other.dart'); // -> '../other.dart'
If the from
argument is passed, path
is made relative to that instead.
p.relative('/root/path/a/b.dart', from: '/root/path'); // -> 'a/b.dart'
p.relative('/root/other.dart', from: '/root/path');
// -> '../other.dart'
If path
and/or from
are relative paths, they are assumed to be relative
to the current directory.
Since there is no relative path from one drive letter to another on Windows, or from one hostname to another for URLs, this will return an absolute path in those cases.
// Windows
p.relative(r'D:\other', from: r'C:\home'); // -> 'D:\other'
// URL
p.relative('http://dartlang.org', from: 'http://pub.dartlang.org');
// -> 'http://dartlang.org'
Implementation
String relative(String path, {String from}) =>
context.relative(path, from: from);
