Package description

What is findup-sync?

The findup-sync npm package is used to search for files or directories by name in the file system, starting from a given directory and moving up the directory tree until a match is found or the root is reached. It is particularly useful for finding configuration files or other resources that may be located at various levels of a directory structure.

What are findup-sync's main functionalities?

Find a file or directory by name

This feature allows you to find a file or directory by its name. The function will start searching from the current directory and move up the directory tree until it finds a match or reaches the root.

const findupSync = require('findup-sync');
const path = findupSync('filename.ext');

Use a glob pattern to find files or directories

This feature enables the use of glob patterns to find files or directories. It will return the first match found when searching up the directory tree.

const findupSync = require('findup-sync');
const path = findupSync('*.ext');

Specify a custom starting directory

With this feature, you can specify a custom starting directory from which the search will begin, rather than using the current working directory.

const findupSync = require('findup-sync');
const path = findupSync('filename.ext', { cwd: '/starting/directory' });

findup(patternOrPatterns [, micromatchOptions]);

// Start looking in the CWD.
var filepath1 = findup('{a,b}*.txt');
