NOTICE, path.dirname(__filename) is the same thing as __dirname There are multiple way to get to info.

'path' gives us more info to access

const os = require('os')
const path = require('path')
console.log(__dirname)
console.log(path.dirname(__filename))

02

We pass in arguments from other modules like os.homedir()(os ) or global variables like __filename into path's methods via the ()'s.

const os = require('os')
const path = require('path')
const home_dir = os.homedir()
console.log( path.dirname(home_dir)
console.log()

console.log(path.dirname(__filename))
console.log(path.basename(__filename))
console.log(path.extname(__filename))

                            

01

The methods from the Common Core Module
path, give us access to more detais.

const os = require('path')
console.log(path)
