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