How does path.relative work?

path.relative() is a method in Node.js that returns a relative path from one absolute path to another absolute path. It takes two absolute paths as input and returns a string representing the relative path from the first path to the second path. The returned string is calculated by calculating the difference between the two paths, and then returning a string that represents the relative path between them.

  const home = process.env.HOME
  if (!home) return fileName


  fileName = path.resolve(fileName)


  const relFileName = path.relative(home, fileName)
  if (relFileName[0] === '.') return fileName


  return path.join('~', relFileName)
}

const path = require("path");

const absolutePath1 = "/Users/johndoe/Documents";
const absolutePath2 = "/Users/johndoe/Documents/Projects";

const relativePath = path.relative(absolutePath1, absolutePath2);
console.log(relativePath);

In this example, path.relative is used to get the relative path from absolutePath1 to absolutePath2. The output will be Projects, since that is the relative path between the two directories.
