Module Parent ID

Get ID of module parent

Useful when you want to get the ID (filename) of module parent.

Install

$ npm install module-parent-id --save

Know more

Assume that we have two nested modules into /home/hastijs directory. That means we require module two into module one.

/home/hastijs/
|_ module-one.js
   |_ module-two.js

Now we run module-one while module-parent-id called into module-two.

// module-tow.js
console.log(require('module-parent-id')());

The result is:

//=> /home/hastijs/module-one.js

Usage

In example bellow, module-one executed.

Get module immediate parent ID

// module-two.js (path: /home/hastijs/module-two.js)
const moduleParentId = require('module-parent-id');
console.log(moduleParentId());

// module-one.js (path: /home/hastijs/module-one.js)
require('./module-two');
//=> /home/hastijs/module-one.js

Get module upper parent ID

// module-three.js (path: /home/hastijs/module-three.js)
const moduleParentId = require('module-parent-id');
console.log(moduleParentId(2));

// module-two.js (path: /home/hastijs/module-two.js)
require('./module-three');

// module-one.js (path: /home/hastijs/module-one.js)
require('./module-two');
