esm-module-paths

ESM modules don't allow to use __dirname and __filename do determine a .js file's location. Instead, you need to copy/paste multiple lines each time to achieve the same.

This package makes this a bit easier.

Usage

Imagine a file in ./your/path/index.js

import { __dirname, __filename } from "esm-module-paths";
console.log(__dirname()); // /your/path
console.log(__filename()); // /your/path/index.js

Since __dirname and __filename being functions may be confusing to some, especially since those used to be variables, this package also exports aliased, more descriptive versions of each function.

import {getFileName, getDirName}

Installation

npm install esm-module-paths

or

yarn add esm-module-paths
