|
|
> Resolve the path of a module like [`require.resolve()`](https://nodejs.org/api/globals.html#globals_require_resolve) but from a given path
|
|
|
## Install
|
|
```
|
$ npm install resolve-from
|
```
|
|
|
## Usage
|
|
```js
|
const resolveFrom = require('resolve-from');
|
|
// There is a file at `./foo/bar.js`
|
|
resolveFrom('foo', './bar');
|
//=> '/Users/sindresorhus/dev/test/foo/bar.js'
|
```
|
|
|
## API
|
|
### resolveFrom(fromDir, moduleId)
|
|
Like `require()`, throws when the module can't be found.
|
|
### resolveFrom.silent(fromDir, moduleId)
|
|
Returns `null` instead of throwing when the module can't be found.
|
|
#### fromDir
|
|
Type: `string`
|
|
Directory to resolve from.
|
|
#### moduleId
|
|
Type: `string`
|
|
What you would use in `require()`.
|
|
|
## Tip
|
|
Create a partial using a bound function if you want to resolve from the same `fromDir` multiple times:
|
|
```js
|
const resolveFromFoo = resolveFrom.bind(null, 'foo');
|
|
resolveFromFoo('./bar');
|
resolveFromFoo('./baz');
|
```
