# parent-module [](https://travis-ci.org/sindresorhus/parent-module)
|
|
|
|
> Get the path of the parent module
|
|
|
|
Node.js exposes `module.parent`, but it only gives you the first cached parent, which is not necessarily the actual parent.
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Install
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
$ npm install parent-module
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Usage
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
// bar.js
|
|
const parentModule = require('parent-module');
|
|
|
|
module.exports = () => {
|
|
console.log(parentModule());
|
|
//=> '/Users/sindresorhus/dev/unicorn/foo.js'
|
|
};
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
// foo.js
|
|
const bar = require('./bar');
|
|
|
|
bar();
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
## API
|
|
|
|
### parentModule([filepath])
|
|
|
|
By default, it will return the path of the immediate parent.
|
|
|
|
#### filepath
|
|
|
|
Type: `string`<br>
|
|
Default: [`__filename`](https://nodejs.org/api/globals.html#globals_filename)
|
|
|
|
Filepath of the module of which to get the parent path.
|
|
|
|
Useful if you want it to work [multiple module levels down](https://github.com/sindresorhus/parent-module/tree/master/fixtures/filepath).
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Tip
|
|
|
|
Combine it with [`read-pkg-up`](https://github.com/sindresorhus/read-pkg-up) to read the package.json of the parent module.
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
const path = require('path');
|
|
const readPkgUp = require('read-pkg-up');
|
|
const parentModule = require('parent-module');
|
|
|
|
console.log(readPkgUp.sync({cwd: path.dirname(parentModule())}).pkg);
|
|
//=> {name: 'chalk', version: '1.0.0', …}
|
|
```
