caller-dir

caller-dir Build Status

A tool which could get the dirpath of a function method’s caller

1
npm install caller-dir

Usually, if you want to get the current path, you can use __dirname in Nodejs, if you want to get the caller’s dirpath, you can call the function with a parameter which is __dirname, but it’s not graceful.

Now you can use this little tool caller-dir to get the caller’s dirpath gracefully.

eg.
file A /src/module/a.js

var A = require('./module/a');
