Install

npm install parent-module

Usage

// bar.js import parentModule from 'parent-module'; export default function bar() { console.log(parentModule()); //=> '/Users/sindresorhus/dev/unicorn/foo.js' }; // foo.js import bar from './bar.js'; bar();

API

parentModule(filePath?)

By default, it will return the path of the immediate parent.

Type: string
Default: __filename

The file path of the module of which to get the parent path.
