Node.js core libraries don't work in Tauri when you build for production as there is no Node.js runtime.

#

I took a look at the Node.js source code for relative and it's fairly straight-forward to replicate for yourself.

ik, but i wanted a "normal" way of doing it, like why doesn't tauri/api/path not have it?

You're the first person to ask for it.

#

What is your use-case for it?

#

representing a path to the user. when they click it it would bring them to the file in explorer.

#

there isn't a reason to show the user a full path.

What would the path be relative to? The working directory of the app?
