Represents a platform used for parsing the strings, either Win32 or Posix. Create or infer platforms with win32, posix and fromSeparator

Win32. Use when you want to hardcode platform into Path functions. If you are unsure what platform you need, use fromSeparator to infer it.

Path.Platform.fromString Path.Platform.win32 "c:/A/B/C.elm"

Posix. Use when you want to hardcode platform into Path functions. If you are unsure what platform you need, use fromSeparator to infer it.

Path.Platform.fromString Path.Platform.posix "/A/B/C.elm"

Get platform based on a separator. This will default to Posix! You can find the separator using Node with path.sep, in Python with os.path.sep, and pass it in to Elm.

Path.Platform.fromSeparator "/" == Path.Platform.posix


Path.Platform.fromSeparator "\\" == Path.Platform.win32


Path.Platform.fromSeparator "lkjankljsAKSKJ" == Path.Platform.posix

The separator of a platform.

Path.Platform.separator Path.Platform.posix == "/"


Path.Platform.separator Path.Platform.win32 == "\\"

Delimiter of a platform.

Path.Platform.separator Path.Platform.posix == ":"


Path.Platform.separator Path.Platform.win32 == ";"
