required-path

Handy helper to prepare your string for require().

NPM Status Travis Status Windows Status Coverage Status Dependency Status

The emergence of this module is due to the fact that some methods of path module could return “un-required” path.

For example:

path.relative('foo/bar', 'foo/baz.js') will return '../baz.js', and we could require it.

But path.relative('foo', 'foo/bar/baz.js') will return 'bar/baz.js', and such path would cause error in require.

Usage

var requiredPath = require('required-path');
var file = 'file.js';

try {
  require(file);
} catch(err) {
  err;  // "Error: Cannot find module 'file.js'"
}

var prepared = requiredPath(file);
require(prepared);  // now it's okay
