find the closest package.json

Package Exports

  • find-root

This package does not declare an exports field, so the exports above have been automatically detected and optimized by JSPM instead. If any package subpath is missing, it is recommended to post an issue to the original package (find-root) to support the "exports" field. If that is not possible, create a JSPM override to customize the exports field for this package.

Readme

find-root

recursively find the closest package.json

Build Status

usage

Say you want to check if the directory name of a project matches its module name in package.json:

const path = require('path')
const findRoot = require('find-root')

// from a starting directory, recursively search for the nearest
// directory containing package.json
const root = findRoot('/Users/jsdnxx/Code/find-root/tests')
// => '/Users/jsdnxx/Code/find-root'

const dirname = path.basename(root)
console.log('is it the same?')
console.log(dirname === require(path.join(root, 'package.json')).name)

You can also pass in a custom check function (by default, it checks for the existence of package.json in a directory). In this example, we traverse up to find the root of a git repo:

const fs = require('fs')

const gitRoot = findRoot('/Users/jsdnxx/Code/find-root/tests', function (dir) {
  return fs.existsSync(path.resolve(dir, '.git'))
})

api

findRoot: (startingPath : string, check?: (dir: string) => boolean) => string

Returns the path for the nearest directory to startingPath containing a package.json file, eg /foo/module.

If check is provided, returns the path for the closest parent directory where check returns true.

Throws an error if no package.json is found at any level in the startingPath.

installation

> npm install find-root

running the tests

From package root:

> npm install
> npm test
