look-up v0.8.3

look-up

Faster drop-in replacement for find-up and findup-sync.

Install

Install with npm

$ npm i look-up --save

See the benchmarks or unit tests.

Usage

var lookup = require('look-up');
lookup('package.json');
//=> '/Users/jonschlinkert/dev/look-up/package.json'

look-up will recurse up from the cwd until it finds the given file.

lookup('package.json', { cwd: 'foo/bar' });
//=> '/Users/jonschlinkert/dev/look-up/package.json'

Glob patterns are also supported (string or array):

lookup(['*.json', '*.foo'], { cwd: 'foo/bar' });
//=> '/Users/jonschlinkert/dev/look-up/package.json'

Running benchmarks

Benchmarks were run on mac and windows. look-up is 5x-20x faster than findup-sync and 3x faster than find-up

Note that find-up does not support glob patterns, so these benchmarks only include arguments that are supported by all three libs.
