import-from's Introduction

import-from

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

Install

$ npm install import-from

Usage

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

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

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

API

importFrom(fromDirectory, moduleId)

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

importFrom.silent(fromDirectory, moduleId)

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

fromDirectory

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');

import-from's Issues

Any use case, to use this over require?

Just curious, maybe I should know something that's better than what I use right now, require?

Use `module.createRequireFromPath()` when available

Added module.createRequireFromPath(filename). This new method can be used to create a custom require function that will resolve modules relative to the filename path. #19360

resolved path not right

cwd:

/Users/yutengjing/code/fe-test

find module: typescript

found:

/Users/yutengjing/code/fe-test/node_modules/.pnpm/[email protected]/node_modules/typescript/lib/typescript.js

expect:

/Users/yutengjing/code/fe-test/node_modules/typescript/lib/typescript.js

Feature request

I'm currently working on a tool that uses import-from to invoke node module look up inside different directories,
i need es modules support in the future and would really appreciate, it being implemented in this package, thanks.
