# slash [](https://travis-ci.org/sindresorhus/slash) > Convert Windows backslash paths to slash paths: `foo\\bar` ➔ `foo/bar` [Forward-slash paths can be used in Windows](http://superuser.com/a/176395/6877) as long as they're not extended-length paths and don't contain any non-ascii characters. This was created since the `path` methods in Node outputs `\\` paths on Windows. ## Install ```sh $ npm install --save slash ``` ## Usage ```js var path = require('path'); var slash = require('slash'); var str = path.join('foo', 'bar'); // Unix => foo/bar // Windows => foo\\bar slash(str); // Unix => foo/bar // Windows => foo/bar ``` ## API ### slash(path) Type: `string` Accepts a Windows backslash path and returns a slash path. ## License MIT © [Sindre Sorhus](http://sindresorhus.com)
