| # import-local |
| |
| > Let a globally installed package use a locally installed version of itself if available |
| |
| Useful for CLI tools that want to defer to the user's locally installed version when available, but still work if it's not installed locally. For example, [AVA](https://avajs.dev) and [XO](https://github.com/xojs/xo) uses this method. |
| |
| ## Install |
| |
| ```sh |
| npm install import-local |
| ``` |
| |
| ## Usage |
| |
| ```js |
| import importLocal from 'import-local'; |
| |
| if (importLocal(import.meta.url)) { |
| console.log('Using local version of this package'); |
| } else { |
| // Code for both global and local version here⦠|
| } |
| ``` |
| |
| You can also pass in `__filename` when used in a CommonJS context. |
