6 | ## Install
|
7 |

|
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'
|
22 | ```

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 | ```
