Install

Install with npm:

$ npm install --save find-path

Usage

const findPath = require('find-path');
findPath(filename, paths, options);

Params

• filename The filename or path to match. Passed to path-ends-with.
• paths - an array of filepaths to match against.
• options

Example

const paths = findPath('foo.md', ['a/b/c/foo.md', 'a/b/c/bar.md']);
console.log(paths);
//=> ['a/b/c/foo.md'];

Options

options.all

Type: boolean

Default: undefined

Returns all of matched paths instead of only the first match.

const paths = [
  'foo/bar/baz/about.md',
  'foo/bar/baz/index.md',
  'foo/bar/index.md',
  'foo/bar/about.md',
  'foo/bar/quux.md',
  'foo/index.md',
];

console.log(findPath('index.md', paths));
//=> ['foo/bar/baz/index.md']

console.log(findPath('index.md', paths, { all: true }));
//=> ['foo/index.md', 'foo/bar/index.md', 'foo/bar/baz/index.md']

options.shortest

Type: boolean

Default: undefined

Sorts paths so that the first matching path with the fewest directory segments is returned. (note that options.all is disabled when options.shortest is true).

Example

const paths = [
  'foo/bar/baz/about.md',
  'foo/bar/baz/index.md',
  'foo/bar/index.md',
  'foo/bar/about.md',
  'foo/bar/quux.md',
  'foo/index.md',
];

console.log(findPath('index.md', paths));
//=> ['foo/bar/baz/index.md']

console.log(findPath('index.md', paths, { shortest: true }));
//=> ['foo/index.md']
