import-from

Import a module like with require() but from a given path

Install

$ npm install --save import-from

Usage

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:

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

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