25## API
26
27### resolveFrom(fromDir, moduleId)
28
29Like `require()`, throws when the module can't be found.
30
31### resolveFrom.silent(fromDir, moduleId)
32
33Returns `null` instead of throwing when the module can't be found.
34
35#### fromDir
36
37Type: `string`
38
39Directory to resolve from.
40
41#### moduleId
42
43Type: `string`
44
45What you would use in `require()`.

48## Tip
49
50Create a partial using a bound function if you want to resolve from the same `fromDir` multiple times:
51
52```js
53const resolveFromFoo = resolveFrom.bind(null, 'foo');
54
55resolveFromFoo('./bar');
56resolveFromFoo('./baz');
57```
