| # findup-sync [](http://travis-ci.org/cowboy/node-findup-sync) |
| |
| Find the first file matching a given pattern in the current directory or the nearest ancestor directory. |
| |
| ## Getting Started |
| Install the module with: `npm install findup-sync` |
| |
| ```js |
| var findup = require('findup-sync'); |
| |
| // 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}); |
| ``` |
| |
| ## Usage |
| |
| ```js |
| findup(patternOrPatterns [, minimatchOptions]) |
| ``` |
| |
| ### patternOrPatterns |
| Type: `String` or `Array` |
| Default: none |
| |
| One or more wildcard glob patterns. Or just filenames. |
| |
| ### minimatchOptions |
| Type: `Object` |
| Default: `{}` |
| |
| Options to be passed to [minimatch](https://github.com/isaacs/minimatch). |
| |
| Note that if you want to start in a different directory than the current working directory, specify a `cwd` property here. |
