req-from

req-from

Require a module like require() but from a given path

Install

$ npm install --save req-from

Usage

const reqFrom = require('req-from');

// There is a file at `./foo/bar.js`

reqFrom('foo', './bar');

API

reqFrom(fromDir, moduleId)

Like require(), throws when the module can't be found.

reqFrom.silent(fromDir, moduleId)

Returns null instead of throwing when the module can't be found.

fromDir

Type: string

Directory to require from.

moduleId

Type: string

What you would use in require().

Tip

Create a partial using a bound function if you want to require from the same fromDir multiple times:

const reqFromFoo = reqFrom.bind(null, 'foo');

reqFromFoo('./bar');
reqFromFoo('./baz');
