findup-sync

Find the first file matching a given pattern in the current directory or the nearest ancestor directory.

Matching is done with micromatch, please report any matching related issues on that repository.

Install with npm

npm i findup-sync --save

Usage

var findup = require('findup-sync');
findup(patternOrPatterns [, micromatchOptions]);

// Start looking in the CWD.
var filepath1 = findup('{a,b}*.txt');

// Start looking somewhere else, and ignore case (probably a good idea).
var filepath2 = findup('{a,b}*.txt', {cwd: '/some/path', nocase: true});

patterns {String|Array}: Glob pattern(s) or file path(s) to match against.
options {Object}: Options to pass to micromatch. Note that if you want to start in a different directory than the current working directory, specify a cwd property here.
returns {String}: Returns the first matching file.

Running tests
