find-rc

npm install find-rc

Find a rc file given a name. Inspiration from rc.

Here is the order that folders will be searched:

1. Current directory
2. Parent of current directory, until the root folder is encountered
3. $HOME/.${apprc}
4. $HOME/.${app}/config
5. $HOME/.config/${app}
6. $HOME/.config/${app}/config
7. /etc/${app}rc
8. /etc/${app}.rc

(appname, [startDir])

• appname - name of file you are looking for. Example: lab. It will be formatted with .{appname}rc
• startDir - (optional) directory to start looking for the file. Defaults to process.cwd

Example

const FindRc = require('find-rc');

const filePath = FindRc('lab');
if (filePath) {
  // load file and parse configuration
  const rc = require(filePath);
}
