If you are trying to get a correct file path manually in cordova ionic app. Type the path and hit cmd + click. if it is a correct path it will open but if not it will give you an error. Worked for me in VS code.
When working with Cordova Ionic apps in Visual Studio Code (VSCode), it can be challenging to navigate through the file system and find the correct file path for a particular file or folder. In this blog post, we will explore how to get a correct file path manually in VSCode when developing Cordova Ionic apps.
Firstly, let's understand what a file path is. A file path is a string of text that specifies the location of a file or folder on a computer's file system. It consists of several components such as the drive letter, directory name, and file name. In VSCode, we can use the built-in command palette to quickly navigate through the file system and find the correct file path for our Cordova Ionic app.
To open the command palette in VSCode, press `Ctrl + Shift + P` on Windows or `Cmd + Shift + P` on macOS. Once the command palette is open, type "Explorer" in the search bar and select "Explorer
Open Folder in File Explorer". This will open the default file explorer on your computer and allow you to navigate through the file system.
Once you have found the folder or file you are looking for, right-click on it and select "Properties" from the context menu. In the properties window, you will find the full path of the selected item. This is the correct file path that you can use in your Cordova Ionic app.
Another way to get a correct file path manually in VSCode is by using the built-in terminal. To open the terminal in VSCode, press `Ctrl + Shift + T` on Windows or `Cmd + Shift + T` on macOS. Once the terminal is open, you can use the "cd" command to change your current working directory and navigate through the file system.
For example, if you want to navigate to the root directory of your Cordova Ionic app, type "cd /path/to/your/app" in the terminal and press Enter. This will change your current working directory to the specified path. Once you are in the correct directory, you can use the "ls" command to list the contents of the directory and find the file or folder you are looking for.
It's important to note that when using the "cd" command in the terminal, you need to specify the full path of the directory you want to navigate to. If you only provide a partial path, VSCode will not be able to find the correct directory and will display an error message.
In addition to using the command palette and terminal, you can also use the built-in file explorer in VSCode to get a correct file path manually. To open the file explorer in VSCode, click on the "Explorer" icon in the left sidebar or press `Ctrl + Shift + E` on Windows or `Cmd + Shift + E` on macOS.
Once the file explorer is open, you can navigate through the file system and find the folder or file you are looking for. Right-click on the selected item and select "Copy path" from the context menu. This will copy the full path of the selected item to your clipboard. You can then paste the path into your Cordova Ionic app code to reference the file or folder.
It's important to note that when using the built-in file explorer in VSCode, you may need to enable the "Copy Path" context menu option. To do this, right-click on an empty area of the file explorer and select "Customize Context Menus" from the context menu. In the "Customize Context Menus" window, search for "Copy path" and check the box next to it. This will enable the "Copy Path" context menu option.
In conclusion, getting a correct file path manually in VSCode when developing Cordova Ionic apps can be challenging, but with the right tools and techniques, it's possible to navigate through the file system and find the correct file or folder. By using the command palette, terminal, and built-in file explorer in VSCode, you can quickly and easily get a correct file path for your Cordova Ionic app.
