setDirname()

Configure the package root directory path

Sets the root directory path for the OpenComic AI package. This is primarily used in bundled or packaged applications where the package location differs from the default.

Syntax

OpenComicAI.setDirname(dirname: string): void

Parameters

dirname · string · required

Path to the package root directory. Can be absolute or relative.

Returns

void - This method does not return a value.

Behavior

• The path is resolved to an absolute path automatically
• Used internally to locate binaries and resources
• Essential for bundled applications where __dirname may not reflect the actual package location

Example

import OpenComicAI from '@opencomic/ai-bin';
import { fileURLToPath } from 'url';
import { dirname } from 'path';

// ES modules pattern
const __filename = fileURLToPath(import.meta.url);
const __dirname = dirname(__filename);

OpenComicAI.setDirname(__dirname);

Use cases

Electron applications

import { app } from 'electron';

// Set dirname to the app's resource path
OpenComicAI.setDirname(app.getAppPath());

Packaged applications

// When using pkg or similar bundlers
OpenComicAI.setDirname(process.cwd());
