resolve-pkg

Resolve the path of a package regardless of it having an entry

Some packages like CLI tools and grunt tasks don't have a entry point, like "main": "foo.js" in package.json, resulting in them not being resolvable by require.resolve(). Unlike require.resolve(), this module also resolves packages without an entry point, returns null instead of throwing when the module can't be found, and resolves from process.cwd() instead __dirname by default.

Install

$ npm install --save resolve-pkg

Usage

const resolvePkg = require('resolve-pkg');

// $ npm install --save-dev grunt-svgmin

resolvePkg('grunt-svgmin/tasks', {cwd: __dirname});
//=> '/Users/sindresorhus/unicorn/node_modules/grunt-svgmin/tasks'

// fails here as grunt tasks usually don't have a defined main entry point
require.resolve('grunt-svgmin/tasks');
//=> Error: Cannot find module 'grunt-svgmin'
