closest-root
Advanced tools
Allows the user to locate the root directory, of a Node application set up using npm, from a specified directory by traversing upwards until the root is located.
This npm module allows the user to locate the closest npm root directory from a specified path.
It is assumed that there is a 'package.json' file located at the root of the application (or module). This means that we cannot have files called 'package.json' in the traversal path, as that will then be viewed as a correct root directory.
What we do know for sure, however, is that according to an issue for npm on GitHub, the name of the 'package.json' file will most certainly not change anytime soon. As such, it is imperative that any other files that need to be called 'package.json' are moved to another directory, where it does not interfere with this module
$ npm install closest-root
let rootDirectory = require('closest-root')(__dirname)
/* This will output the closest root directory from the current file, as
* '__dirname' returns the name of the current directory we are inside.
*/
console.log(rootDirectory)
This module, and the code therein, is licensed under ISC.
