isAbsolute method
Returns true
if path
is an absolute path and false
if it is a
relative path.
On POSIX systems, absolute paths start with a /
(forward slash). On
Windows, an absolute path starts with \\
, or a drive letter followed by
:/
or :\
. For URLs, absolute paths either start with a protocol and
optional hostname (e.g. https://dart.dev
, file://
) or with a /
.
URLs that start with /
are known as "root-relative", since they're
relative to the root of the current URL. Since root-relative paths are still
absolute in every other sense, isAbsolute will return true for them. They
can be detected using isRootRelative.
Implementation
bool isAbsolute(String path) => p.context.isAbsolute(path);
