npm install find-rc

Find a rc file given a name. Inspiration from rc.

The rc file is assumed to be written in JavaScript, therefore the filename must be .${app}rc.js or .${app}rc.cjs or .${app}rc.mjs . If your app is named 'lab' then the rc file must be named .labrc.js (.labrc.cjs / .labrc.mjs).

Here is the order that folders will be searched:

1. Current directory
2. Parent of current directory, until the root folder is encountered
3. $HOME/.${app}rc.js
4. $HOME/.${app}rc.cjs
5. $HOME/.${app}rc.mjs
6. $HOME/.config/.${app}rc.js
7. $HOME/.config/.${app}rc.cjs
8. $HOME/.config/.${app}rc.mjs

(appname, [startDir])

• appname - name of file you are looking for. Example: lab. It will be formatted as .{appname}rc.js
• startDir - (optional) directory to start looking for the file. Defaults to process.cwd

Example

const FindRc = require('find-rc');

const filePath = FindRc('lab');
if (filePath) {
  // load file and parse configuration
  const rc = require(filePath);
}
