# import-from

> Import a module like with [`require()`](https://nodejs.org/api/globals.html#globals_require) but from a given path

## Install

```
$ npm install --save import-from
```

## Usage

```js
const importFrom = require('import-from');

// There is a file at `./foo/bar.js`

importFrom('foo', './bar');
```

## API

### importFrom(fromDir, moduleId)

Like `require()`, throws when the module can't be found.

### importFrom.silent(fromDir, moduleId)

Returns `null` instead of throwing when the module can't be found.

#### fromDir

Type: `string`

Directory to import from.

#### moduleId

Type: `string`

What you would use in `require()`.

## Tip

Create a partial using a bound function if you want to import from the same `fromDir` multiple times:

```js
const importFromFoo = importFrom.bind(null, 'foo');

importFromFoo('./bar');
importFromFoo('./baz');
```
