resolve like require.resolve() on behalf of files asynchronously and synchronously
npm install @ineedthis/resolveimplements the node require.resolve()
algorithm
such that you can require.resolve() on behalf of a file asynchronously and
synchronously

asynchronously resolve:
`` js`
var resolve = require('resolve');
resolve('tap', { basedir: __dirname }, function (err, res) {
if (err) console.error(err)
else console.log(res)
});
``
$ node example/async.js
/home/substack/projects/node-resolve/node_modules/tap/lib/main.js
synchronously resolve:
` js`
var resolve = require('resolve');
var res = resolve.sync('tap', { basedir: __dirname });
console.log(res);
``
$ node example/sync.js
/home/substack/projects/node-resolve/node_modules/tap/lib/main.js
` js`
var resolve = require('resolve')
Asynchronously resolve the module path string id into cb(err, res [, pkg]), where pkg (if defined) is the data from package.json.
options are:
* opts.basedir - directory to begin resolving from
* opts.package - package.json data applicable to the module being loaded
* opts.extensions - array of file extensions to search in order
* opts.readFile - how to read files asynchronously
* opts.isFile - function to asynchronously test whether a file exists
* opts.packageFilter - transform the parsed package.json contents before looking
at the "main" field
* opts.pathFilter(pkg, path, relativePath) - transform a path within a package
* pkg - package data
* path - the path being resolved
* relativePath - the path relative from the package.json location
* returns - a relative path that will be joined from the package.json location
* opts.paths - require.paths array to use if nothing is found on the normal
node_modules recursive walk (probably don't use this)
* opts.moduleDirectory - directory (or directories) in which to recursively look for modules. default: "node_modules"
* opts.preserveSymlinks - if true, doesn't resolve basedir to real path before resolving.true
This is the way Node resolves dependencies when executed with the --preserve-symlinks flag.
Note: this property is currently by default but it will be changed tofalse in the next major version because Node's resolution algorithm does not preserve symlinks by default.
default opts values:
` javascript`
{
paths: [],
basedir: __dirname,
extensions: [ '.js' ],
readFile: fs.readFile,
isFile: function (file, cb) {
fs.stat(file, function (err, stat) {
if (err && err.code === 'ENOENT') cb(null, false)
else if (err) cb(err)
else cb(null, stat.isFile())
});
},
moduleDirectory: 'node_modules',
preserveSymlinks: true
}
Synchronously resolve the module path string id, returning the result andid
throwing an error when can't be resolved.
options are:
* opts.basedir - directory to begin resolving from
* opts.extensions - array of file extensions to search in order
* opts.readFile - how to read files synchronously
* opts.isFile - function to synchronously test whether a file exists
* opts.packageFilter(pkg, pkgfile) - transform the parsed package.json
* contents before looking at the "main" field
* opts.paths - require.paths array to use if nothing is found on the normal
node_modules recursive walk (probably don't use this)
* opts.moduleDirectory - directory (or directories) in which to recursively look for modules. default: "node_modules"
* opts.preserveSymlinks - if true, doesn't resolve basedir to real path before resolving.true
This is the way Node resolves dependencies when executed with the --preserve-symlinks flag.

default opts values:
` javascript``
{
paths: [],
basedir: __dirname,
extensions: [ '.js' ],
readFileSync: fs.readFileSync,
isFile: function (file) {
try { return fs.statSync(file).isFile() }
catch (e) { return false }
},

}
Return whether a package is in core.
With npm do:
```
npm install resolve
