1npm install parent-module

Usage

1// bar.js
2import parentModule from 'parent-module';
3
4export default function bar() {
5	console.log(parentModule());
6	//=> '/Users/sindresorhus/dev/unicorn/foo.js'
7};

1// foo.js
2import bar from './bar.js';
3
4bar();

3import parentModule from 'parent-module';
4
