recursive-path-finder

Build Status

Search for files or folders in the directory where Node was started.

Install

Install locally:

npm install recursive-path-finder

Install globally:

npm install -g recursive-path-finder

Usage

Simply import the package and use it as a function:

var find = require('recursive-path-finder');
var path = find('login.js');

find(filename, [options])

Find a file or folder using the filename parameter with an optional options object. It starts on the directory where Node was started and search recursively for the file or folder. It will return a string with the full path of the file in the file system or undefined if it didn't find anything.

This method runs synchronously.

Avaliable properties for options:

  • basePath: Adds a path to the main path to search for files or folders.
  • isFolder: Change the kind of source to find. The default is false.
  • exclude: A list of folders to exclude from the search.
var find = require('recursive-path-finder');
 
console.log(find('login.test.js'))
// /Users/name/projects/awesome_project/tests/login.test.js
 
console.log(find('login.js', { basePath: 'source/v1' })
// /Users/name/projects/awesome_project/source/v1/login.js
console.log(find('login.js', { basePath: 'source/v2' })
// /Users/name/projects/awesome_project/source/v2/login.js
 
console.log(find('v2', { isFolder: true })
// /Users/name/projects/awesome_project/source/v2
 
console.log(find('login.js', { exclude: ['source/v1'] })
// /Users/name/projects/awesome_project/source/v2/login.js
