# current-module-paths

Access to the CommonJS `__filename` and `__dirname` variables within ECMAScript modules.

Only use this module if your code depends on the above global variables being defined, otherwise use [import.meta](https://nodejs.org/docs/latest/api/esm.html#no-__filename-or-__dirname).


```js
import currentModulePaths from 'current-module-paths'

const { __filename, __dirname } = currentModulePaths(import.meta.url)
```
