Get application full path in Node.js

Question

I\'m wondering if there is a best way or best practice to get the full path of application in Node.js. Example: I have a a module in sub folder /apps/myapp/data/models/m

Answer 1

This worked for me.. With supervisor running the app from a different dir.

require('path').dirname(Object.keys(require.cache)[0])

example.. files: /desktop/ya/node.js

  require('./ya2/submodule')();

/desktop/ya/ya2/submodule.js

module.exports = function(){
    console.log(require('path').dirname(Object.keys(require.cache)[0]))
}

$ node node.js  
       => /desktop/ya

$ (from /desktop) supervisor ya/node.js
       => /desktop/ya
