File Path Notation / References
A file path is the specific location of a file or folder within the computer's/server's file system. It points to the file’s exact directory structure.
- Absolute URL Paths: File paths map URLs (web addresses). Example:
https://www.byui.edu/speeches/devotionals
- Server Root - Absolute Path: The root directory of the website/server.
/images/someimage.webp
Generally, do not use this root directory type of notation when referencing assets on your pages in WDD courses. It may work locally but not on your github pages enabled space because you are working in a course repository/sub-directory.
- Relative Path: The path to a file or folder relative to the current page.
images/someimage.webp
- Parent Directory: The directory above the current directory.
../images/someimage.webp
- Same Directory: The referenced file exists in the same directory of the current page.
