npm-module-path

Get the path of the given package(s) if it is installed globally or locally.

Install

$ npm i -S npm-module-path

Why?

Primarily, this module is designed to search modules for VS Code (Language Server Extensions, etc).

• Dependencies free.
• Returns the path to the module directory (without require).
• Can work with an array of dependencies.

Usage

const nmp = require('npm-module-path');
 
nmp.resolveOne('mocha').then((filepath) => {
    console.log(filepath); // ['/home/travis/.nvm/versions/node/v6.6.0/lib/node_modules/mocha']
});
 
nmp.resolveMany(['mocha', 'tslint']).then((filepaths) => {
    console.log(filepaths); // ['node_modules/mocha', '/usr/lib/node_modules/tslint']
});
