A Promise-based Node module that recursively searches for a file, moving up the directory tree until found.
I needed to start my GitHub/NPM publishing journey somewhere, and this seemed like a good starting point. I wanted it to be FIRST.
npm install then-recursively-search
- @param {String}
filename- The name (including extension) of the file to search for. Not case-sensitive. - @param {String?}
startIn- The directory to begin searching in. If not specified, then defaults to the same value as the location of the caller. - @return {Promise} - Fulfilled with the complete path to the file (if found); otherwise, rejected.
const findFile = require('then-recursively-search')
findFile('package.json')
.then(function (pathspec) {
// `pathspec` will be a complete path to the nearest `package.json` file in any folder above `__dirname`
})
Couldn't be easier...
npm test
