# resolve-from [](https://travis-ci.org/sindresorhus/resolve-from) > Resolve the path of a module like [`require.resolve()`](https://nodejs.org/api/globals.html#globals_require_resolve) but from a given path ## Install ``` $ npm install resolve-from ``` ## Usage ```js const resolveFrom = require('resolve-from'); // There is a file at `./foo/bar.js` resolveFrom('foo', './bar'); //=> '/Users/sindresorhus/dev/test/foo/bar.js' ``` ## API ### resolveFrom(fromDir, moduleId) Like `require()`, throws when the module can't be found. ### resolveFrom.silent(fromDir, moduleId) Returns `null` instead of throwing when the module can't be found. #### fromDir Type: `string` Directory to resolve from. #### moduleId Type: `string` What you would use in `require()`. ## Tip Create a partial using a bound function if you want to resolve from the same `fromDir` multiple times: ```js const resolveFromFoo = resolveFrom.bind(null, 'foo'); resolveFromFoo('./bar'); resolveFromFoo('./baz'); ``` ## Related - [resolve-cwd](https://github.com/sindresorhus/resolve-cwd) - Resolve the path of a module from the current working directory - [import-from](https://github.com/sindresorhus/import-from) - Import a module from a given path - [import-cwd](https://github.com/sindresorhus/import-cwd) - Import a module from the current working directory - [resolve-pkg](https://github.com/sindresorhus/resolve-pkg) - Resolve the path of a package regardless of it having an entry point - [import-lazy](https://github.com/sindresorhus/import-lazy) - Import a module lazily - [resolve-global](https://github.com/sindresorhus/resolve-global) - Resolve the path of a globally installed module ## License MIT © [Sindre Sorhus](https://sindresorhus.com)
