Find a module specified by a require path using Node's module resolution.
npm install find-module
var findModule = require('find-module');
findModule('./some-path', {
dirname: 'some-parent-dir' // the directory from which ./some-path should be resolved
}, function(err, filename) {
console.log('some-path resolved to '+filename+' from some-parent-dir');
});
// or dont provide a callback to use the sync version
var filename = findModule('./some-path', {
dirname: 'some-parent-dir' // the directory from which ./some-path should be resolved
});
console.log('some-path resolved to '+filename+' from some-parent-dir');If you pass a module path ('my-module') find-module by default will look for a node_modules folder
to find my-module. If you want to use a different module folder you can set the modules option
findModule('my-module', {
modules: 'custom_modules',
dirname: 'some-parent-dir'
}, ...);When you resolve a path find-module by default will look for path+'.js' and path+'.json' if the
path does not exist. If you want to look for other kind of extensions set the extensions option
findModule('my-module', {
dirname: 'some-parent-dir',
extensions: ['txt']
}, ...);Combine the modules and extensions settings to roll out your own module finder. A template module
finder could look like this
findModule('my-template', {
dirname: 'some-parent-dir',
modules: 'templates',
extensions: ['html']
}, ...);MIT
