module-lookup-amd

module-lookup-amd

This module basically exposes the requirejs config map and path resolution logic and gives you back the real, absolute, path of (possibly) aliased modules names.

I built this for Dependents' jump to dependency feature that lets you click on a module name and open the file that name resolves to.

npm install module-lookup-amd

Usage

var lookup = require('module-lookup-amd');

var realPath = lookup({
  config: 'path/to/my/requirejs/config', // optional
  partial: 'someModule',
  filename: 'file/containing/partial',
  directory: 'directory/containing/all/js/files'
});

• config: the path to your RequireJS configuration file
• partial: the (potentially aliased) dependency that you want to lookup
• filename: the path of the file that contains the dependency (i.e., parent module)
• directory: (Optional) the path to all files
  • Used as a last resort for resolving paths from files that are not within the config's base url (like test files that import a module)

Shell usage

Assumes a global -g installation

lookup-amd -c path/to/my/config.js -f path/to/file/containing/dependency -d path/containing/all/files my/dependency/name
