$ yarn add get-installed-path

API

Review carefully the provided examples and the working tests.

getInstalledPath

Get installed path of globally or locally name package. By default it checks if name exists as directory in global-modules directory of the system. Pass opts.local to get path of name package from local directory or from opts.cwd. Returns rejected promise if module not found in global/local node_modules folder or if it exist but is not a directory.

Params

name {string}: package name
opts {Object}: pass opts.local to check locally
returns {Promise}: rejected promise if name not a string or is empty string

Example

1const { getInstalledPath } = require('get-installed-path')
2
3getInstalledPath('npm').then((path) => {
4  console.log(path)
5  // => '/home/charlike/.nvm/path/to/lib/node_modules/npm'
6})
7
8getInstalledPath('foo-bar-barwerwlekrjw').catch((err) => {
9  console.log(err.message)
10  // => 'module not found "foo-bar-barwerwlekrjw" in path ...'
11})
12
13getInstalledPath('npm', {
14  local: true
15}).catch((err) => {
16  console.log(err.message)
17  // => 'module not found "foo-bar-barwerwlekrjw" in path ...'
18})
19
20getInstalledPath('global-modules', {
21  local: true
22}).then((path) => {
23  console.log(path)
24  // => '~/code/get-installed-path/node_modules/global-modules'
25})
26
27// If you are using it for some sub-directory
28// pass `opts.cwd` to be where the `node_modules`
29// folder is.
30process.chidr('foo-bar-baz')
31getInstalledPath('global-modules', {
32  local: true,
33  cwd: '../'
34}).then((path) => {
35  console.log(path)
36  // => '~/code/get-installed-path/node_modules/global-modules'
37})
38
39// When searching for the path of a package that is required
40// by several other packages, its path may not be in the
41// closest node_modules. In this case, to search recursively,
42// you can use the following:
43getInstalledPath('npm', {
44 paths: process.mainModule.paths
45}).then((path) => {
46 // ...
47})
48// `process.mainModule` refers to the location of the current
49// entry script.
