# import-from [](https://travis-ci.org/sindresorhus/import-from)
|
|
|
|
> Import a module like with [`require()`](https://nodejs.org/api/globals.html#globals_require) but from a given path
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Install
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
$ npm install --save import-from
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Usage
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
const importFrom = require('import-from');
|
|
|
|
// There is a file at `./foo/bar.js`
|
|
|
|
importFrom('foo', './bar');
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
## API
|
|
|
|
### importFrom(fromDir, moduleId)
|
|
|
|
Like `require()`, throws when the module can't be found.
|
|
|
|
### importFrom.silent(fromDir, moduleId)
|
|
|
|
Returns `null` instead of throwing when the module can't be found.
|
|
|
|
#### fromDir
|
|
|
|
Type: `string`
|
|
|
|
Directory to import from.
|
|
|
|
#### moduleId
|
|
|
|
Type: `string`
|
|
|
|
What you would use in `require()`.
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Tip
|
|
|
|
Create a partial using a bound function if you want to import from the same `fromDir` multiple times:
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
const importFromFoo = importFrom.bind(null, 'foo');
|
|
|
|
importFromFoo('./bar');
|
|
importFromFoo('./baz');
|
|
```
|
