| 6 | ## Install
|
|---|
| 7 |
|

| 11 |
|
|---|
| 12 |
|
|---|
| 13 | ## Usage
|
|---|
| 14 |
|
|---|
| 15 | ```js
|
|---|
| 16 | const resolveFrom = require('resolve-from');
|
|---|
| 17 |
|
|---|
| 18 | // There is a file at `./foo/bar.js`
|
|---|
| 19 |
|
|---|
| 20 | resolveFrom('foo', './bar');
|
|---|
| 21 | //=> '/Users/sindresorhus/dev/test/foo/bar.js'
|

| 25 | ## API
|
|---|
| 26 |
|
|---|
| 27 | ### resolveFrom(fromDir, moduleId)
|
|---|
| 28 |
|
|---|
| 29 | Like `require()`, throws when the module can't be found.
|
|---|
| 30 |
|
|---|
| 31 | ### resolveFrom.silent(fromDir, moduleId)
|
|---|
| 32 |
|
|---|
| 33 | Returns `null` instead of throwing when the module can't be found.
|
|---|
| 34 |
|
|---|
| 35 | #### fromDir
|
|---|
| 36 |
|
|---|
| 37 | Type: `string`
|
|---|
| 38 |
|
|---|
| 39 | Directory to resolve from.
|
|---|
| 40 |
|
|---|
| 41 | #### moduleId
|
|---|
| 42 |
|
|---|
| 43 | Type: `string`
|
|---|
| 44 |
|
|---|
| 45 | What you would use in `require()`.
|
|---|
| 46 |
|
|---|
| 47 |
|
|---|
| 48 | ## Tip
|
|---|
| 49 |
|
|---|
| 50 | Create a partial using a bound function if you want to resolve from the same `fromDir` multiple times:
|
|---|
| 51 |
|
|---|
| 52 | ```js
|
|---|
| 53 | const resolveFromFoo = resolveFrom.bind(null, 'foo');
|
|---|
| 54 |
|
|---|
| 55 | resolveFromFoo('./bar');
|
|---|
| 56 | resolveFromFoo('./baz');
|
|---|
| 57 | ```
