Installation
$ npm i caller-dirname
Usage

; ;
/home/detrohutt/test/caller-dirname/deeper/caller.js
; console; /* /home/detrohutt/test/caller-dirname/deeper */
Options
Option | Default | Description |
---|---|---|
depth | 1 | Depth sets the position in the call stack at which you want to retrieve the directory name. With the default depth of 1 (1st caller) you get the dirname of the function that directly calls callerDirname() (we'll call it fn1 ). With a depth of 2 (2nd caller), you'd instead get the dirname of the function that called fn1 , etc. |
Example
; const thirdCallerDir = ;
Motivation
I needed this for another repo I'm working on. Most of the code is taken from caller-path. The main difference is this returns the dirname only, rather than the full path with filename and extension. Also, it's published both as a CommonJS module and as an ES Module and includes TypeScript typings.
