resolve
implements the node require.resolve()
algorithm such that you can require.resolve()
on behalf of a file asynchronously and synchronously
example
asynchronously resolve:
var resolve = require('resolve/async'); // or, require('resolve')
resolve('tap', { basedir: __dirname }, function (err, res) {
if (err) console.error(err);
else console.log(res);
});
$ node example/async.js
/home/substack/projects/node-resolve/node_modules/tap/lib/main.js
synchronously resolve:
var resolve = require('resolve/sync'); // or, `require('resolve').sync
var res = resolve('tap', { basedir: __dirname });
console.log(res);
$ node example/sync.js
/home/substack/projects/node-resolve/node_modules/tap/lib/main.js
methods
var resolve = require('resolve');
var async = require('resolve/async');
var sync = require('resolve/sync');
For both the synchronous and asynchronous methods, errors may have any of the following err.code
values:
MODULE_NOT_FOUND
: the given path string (id
) could not be resolved to a moduleINVALID_BASEDIR
: the specifiedopts.basedir
doesn't exist, or is not a directoryINVALID_PACKAGE_MAIN
: apackage.json
was encountered with an invalidmain
property (eg. not a string)
resolve(id, opts={}, cb)
Asynchronously resolve the module path string id
into cb(err, res [, pkg])
, where pkg
(if defined) is the data from package.json
.
options are:
-
opts.basedir - directory to begin resolving from
-
opts.package -
package.json
data applicable to the module being loaded -
opts.extensions - array of file extensions to search in order
-
opts.includeCoreModules - set to
false
to exclude node core modules (e.g.fs
) from the search -
opts.readFile - how to read files asynchronously
-
opts.isFile - function to asynchronously test whether a file exists
-
opts.isDirectory - function to asynchronously test whether a file exists and is a directory
-
opts.realpath - function to asynchronously resolve a potential symlink to its real path
-
opts.readPackage(readFile, pkgfile, cb)
- function to asynchronously read and parse a package.json file- readFile - the passed
opts.readFile
orfs.readFile
if not specified - pkgfile - path to package.json
- cb - callback
- readFile - the passed
-
opts.packageFilter(pkg, pkgfile, dir)
- transform the parsed package.json contents before looking at the "main" field- pkg - package data
- pkgfile - path to package.json
- dir - directory that contains package.json
-
opts.pathFilter(pkg, path, relativePath)
- transform a path within a package- pkg - package data
- path - the path being resolved
- relativePath - the path relative from the package.json location
- returns - a relative path that will be joined from the package.json location
-
opts.paths - require.paths array to use if nothing is found on the normal
node_modules
recursive walk (probably don't use this)For advanced users,
paths
can also be aopts.paths(request, start, opts)
function- request - the import specifier being resolved
- start - lookup path
- getNodeModulesDirs - a thunk (no-argument function) that returns the paths using standard
node_modules
resolution - opts - the resolution options
-
opts.packageIterator(request, start, opts)
- return the list of candidate paths where the packages sources may be found (probably don't use this)- request - the import specifier being resolved
- start - lookup path
- getPackageCandidates - a thunk (no-argument function) that returns the paths using standard
node_modules
resolution - opts - the resolution options
-
opts.moduleDirectory - directory (or directories) in which to recursively look for modules. default:
"node_modules"
-
opts.preserveSymlinks - if true, doesn't resolve
basedir
to real path before resolving. This is the way Node resolves dependencies when executed with the --preserve-symlinks flag. Note: this property is currentlytrue
by default but it will be changed tofalse
in the next major version because Node's resolution algorithm does not preserve symlinks by default.

resolve.sync(id, opts)
Synchronously resolve the module path string id
, returning the result and
throwing an error when id
can't be resolved.
options are:
-
opts.basedir - directory to begin resolving from
-
opts.extensions - array of file extensions to search in order
-
opts.includeCoreModules - set to
false

) from the search -

- function to synchronously read and parse a package.json file- readFileSync - the passed
opts.readFileSync
orfs.readFileSync
if not specified - pkgfile - path to package.json
- readFileSync - the passed
-
opts.packageFilter(pkg, dir)
- transform the parsed package.json contents before looking at the "main" field- pkg - package data
- dir - directory that contains package.json (Note: the second argument will change to "pkgfile" in v2)
