| 3 | > A tiny (183B to 210B) and [fast](#benchmarks) utility to ascend parent directories
|
---|
| 4 |
|
---|
| 5 | With [escalade](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Escalade), you can scale parent directories until you've found what you're looking for.<br>Given an input file or directory, `escalade` will continue executing your callback function until either:
|
---|
| 6 |
|
---|
| 7 | 1) the callback returns a truthy value
|
---|
| 8 | 2) `escalade` has reached the system root directory (eg, `/`)
|
---|
| 9 |
|
---|
| 10 | > **Important:**<br>Please note that `escalade` only deals with direct ancestry – it will not dive into parents' sibling directories.
|
---|
| 11 |
|
---|
| 12 | ---
|
---|
| 13 |
|
---|
| 14 | **Notice:** As of v3.1.0, `escalade` now includes [Deno support](http://deno.land/x/escalade)! Please see [Deno Usage](#deno) below.

|
---|
| 18 | ## Install
|
---|
| 19 |
|
---|
| 20 | ```
|
---|
| 21 | $ npm install --save escalade
|
---|
| 22 | ```
|
---|
| 23 |
|
---|
| 24 |
|
---|
| 25 | ## Modes
|
---|
| 26 |
|
---|
| 27 | There are two "versions" of `escalade` available:
|
---|
| 28 |
|
---|
| 29 | #### "async"
|
---|
| 30 | > **Node.js:** >= 8.x<br>
|
---|
| 31 | > **Size (gzip):** 210 bytes<br>
|
---|
| 32 | > **Availability:** [CommonJS](https://unpkg.com/escalade/dist/index.js), [ES Module](https://unpkg.com/escalade/dist/index.mjs)
|
---|
| 33 |
|
---|
| 34 | This is the primary/default mode. It makes use of `async`/`await` and [`util.promisify`](https://nodejs.org/api/util.html#util_util_promisify_original).
|
---|
| 35 |
|
---|
| 36 | #### "sync"
|
---|
| 37 | > **Node.js:** >= 6.x<br>
|
---|
| 38 | > **Size (gzip):** 183 bytes<br>
|
---|
| 39 | > **Availability:** [CommonJS](https://unpkg.com/escalade/sync/index.js), [ES Module](https://unpkg.com/escalade/sync/index.mjs)
|
---|
| 40 |
|
---|
| 41 | This is the opt-in mode, ideal for scenarios where `async` usage cannot be supported.
|
---|
| 42 |

| 121 | ## API
|
---|
| 122 |
|
---|
| 123 | ### escalade(input, callback)
|
---|
| 124 | Returns: `string|void` or `Promise<string|void>`
|
---|
| 125 |
|
---|
| 126 | When your `callback` locates a file, `escalade` will resolve/return with an absolute path.<br>
|
---|
| 127 | If your `callback` was never satisfied, then `escalade` will resolve/return with nothing (undefined).
|
---|
| 128 |
|
---|
| 129 | > **Important:**<br>The `sync` and `async` versions share the same API.<br>The **only** difference is that `sync` is not Promise-based.
|
---|
| 130 |
|
---|
| 131 | #### input
|
---|
| 132 | Type: `string`
|
---|
| 133 |
|
---|
| 134 | The path from which to start ascending.
|
---|
| 135 |
|
---|
| 136 | This may be a file or a directory path.<br>However, when `input` is a file, `escalade` will begin with its parent directory.
|
---|
| 137 |
|
---|
| 138 | > **Important:** Unless given an absolute path, `input` will be resolved from `process.cwd()` location.
|
---|
| 139 |
|
---|
| 140 | #### callback
|
---|
| 141 | Type: `Function`
|
---|
| 142 |
|
---|
| 143 | The callback to execute for each ancestry level. It always is given two arguments:
|
---|
| 144 |
|
---|
| 145 | 1) `dir` - an absolute path of the current parent directory
|
---|
| 146 | 2) `names` - a list (`string[]`) of contents _relative to_ the `dir` parent
|
---|
| 147 |
|
---|
| 148 | > **Note:** The `names` list can contain names of files _and_ directories.
|
---|
| 149 |
|
---|
| 150 | When your callback returns a _falsey_ value, then `escalade` will continue with `dir`'s parent directory, re-invoking your callback with new argument values.
|
---|
| 151 |
|
---|
| 152 | When your callback returns a string, then `escalade` stops iteration immediately.<br>
|
---|
| 153 | If the string is an absolute path, then it's left as is. Otherwise, the string is resolved into an absolute path _from_ the `dir` that housed the satisfying condition.
|
---|
| 154 |
|
---|
| 155 | > **Important:** Your `callback` can be a `Promise/AsyncFunction` when using the "async" version of `escalade`.

| 188 | As of v3.1.0, `escalade` is available on the Deno registry.
|
---|
| 189 |
|
---|
| 190 | Please note that the [API](#api) is identical and that there are still [two modes](#modes) from which to choose:
|
---|
| 191 |
|
---|
| 192 | ```ts
|
---|
| 193 | // Choose "async" mode
|
---|
| 194 | import escalade from 'https://deno.land/escalade/async.ts';
|
---|
| 195 |
|
---|
| 196 | // Choose "sync" mode
|
---|
| 197 | import escalade from 'https://deno.land/escalade/sync.ts';
|
---|
| 198 | ```
