yalookup

yet another lookup! look for a file searching from the current or a given directory up.

motivation

very lean recursive implementation restricted to using only node's core modules.

• no glob
• only one option (cwd)
• only synchronous
• no cli

at least for now.

usage

example

search from __dirname upwards for package.json:

var lookup = require('yalookup')
var filepath = lookup('package.json', { cwd: __dirname })

signature

lookup(filename: string, options: object): string

• filename string plain text name of the file, no support for glob
• options object currently only supports a single option:
  • cwd string the directory to start searching upwards from, defaults to process.cwd()
• return string the filepath of the file if found, null otherwise
