# 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.js outputs `\\` paths on Windows.
## Install
```
$ npm install slash
```
## Usage
```js
import path from 'path';
import slash from 'slash';
const string = path.join('foo', 'bar');
// Unix => foo/bar
// Windows => foo\\bar
slash(string);
// Unix => foo/bar
// Windows => foo/bar
```
## API
### slash(path)
Type: `string`
Accepts a Windows backslash path and returns a path with forward slashes.
