# path

Note

To enable built-in Node.js APIs and polyfills, add the nodejs\_compat compatibility flag to your [Wrangler configuration file](https://developers.cloudflare.com/workers/wrangler/configuration/). This also enables nodejs\_compat\_v2 as long as your compatibility date is 2024-09-23 or later. [Learn more about the Node.js compatibility flag and v2](https://developers.cloudflare.com/workers/configuration/compatibility-flags/#nodejs-compatibility-flag).

The [node:path ↗](https://nodejs.org/api/path.html) module provides utilities for working with file and directory paths. The `node:path` module can be accessed using:

JavaScript

```
import path from "node:path";path.join("/foo", "bar", "baz/asdf", "quux", "..");// Returns: '/foo/bar/baz/asdf'
```

Refer to the [Node.js documentation for path ↗](https://nodejs.org/api/path.html) for more information.
