How do I get the path to the current script with Node.js?
node.js
Solution
I found it after looking through the documentation again. What I was looking for were the `__filename` and `__dirname` module-level variables.
- `__filename` is the file name of the current module. This is the resolved absolute path of the current module file. (ex:`/home/kyle/some/dir/file.js`)
- `__dirname` is the directory name of the current module. (ex:`/home/kyle/some/dir`)
Problem
How would I get the path to the script in Node.js? I know there's `process.cwd`, but that only refers to the directory where the script was called, not of the script itself. For instance, say I'm in `/home/kyle/` and I run the following command: ``` node /home/kyle/some/dir/file.js ``` If I call `process.cwd()`, I get `/home/kyle/`, not `/home/kyle/some/dir/`. Is there a way to get that directory?
