upbin

CLI helper to find and execute an executable file by walking up parent directories.

Why?

upbin mainly focuses on module hoisting.
For example, Yarn workspaces and Lerna supports module hoisting.
module will hoist to top-level node_modules when it's using the same version of Babel.

./
  node_modules/
    .bin/
      babel <- It can execute by upbin
  packages/
    some-pkg/ <- Current working directory

If you want to execute top-level bin in packages/some-pkg/package.json:

{
  "scripts": {
    "prepare": "../../node_modules/.bin/babel ..."
  }
}

It can be replaced with upbin!

    "prepare": "upbin babel ..."

Install

npm i upbin

upbin requires Node.js >= 8
