Loads package.json, by finding the first directory with a package.json, recursing up, starting with the given directory.
npm install load-pkg> Loads package.json, by finding the first directory with a package.json, recursing up, starting with the given directory.
Please consider following this project's author, Jon Schlinkert, and consider starring the project to show your :heart: and support.
Install with npm:
``sh`
$ npm install --save load-pkg
By default, if no callback is passed a promise is returned.
The following examples assume the code is inside an async function:
`js
const load = require('load-pkg');
// get the package.json from the cwd
const pkg = await load();
// specify the starting directory to search from
const pkg = await load('foo/bar');
`
`js
const load = require('load-pkg');
// get the package.json from the cwd
load((err, pkg) => {
console.log(pkg);
});
// specify the starting directory to search from
load('foo/bar', (err, pkg) => {
console.log(pkg);
});
`
Loads the package.json in process.cwd() by default:
`js
const load = require('load-pkg');
// the following are equivalent
const pkg = load.sync(process.cwd());
const pkg = load.sync();
`
Specify a cwd or filepath to start from:
`js`
const pkg = require('load-pkg').sync('a/b/c');
* The main export now returns a promise if no callback is passed. There should not be any breaking changes.

* The main export is now a function that must be called.
