Package Exports

get-root-path

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 (get-root-path) to support the "exports" field. If that is not possible, create a JSPM override to customize the exports field for this package.

Readme

Get Root Path - NodeJS

Stop counting dots - get the project root path with a single import
- (...or a single require if you're oldskool)
Memoizes the result for rapid lookups after initial run

Basic usage

import { rootPath } from '../get-root-path';

path.join(rootPath, 'build/app/client');

if you set the APP_ROOT_PATH environment variable, it will return this as the root path instead

Real-world usage (especially if transpiling in a large, complex project)

import { rootPath } from '../get-root-path';

const app = express()
    .use('/', express.static(path.join(rootPath, 'build/app/client')));

What it really does

No magic - it just finds the nearest parent (ancestor?) directory containing both a package.json file and a node_modules folder. 99% of the time this will be the project root of the file doing the lookup.
- If it ever gives you the wrong directory, definitely file an issue, I'd be more than happy to fix it
