Installation

npm install fs-cd

The motivation

Normally let's say you have a file system like this:

• folder1
  • folder2
    • file1.js
  • folder3
    • file2.js

// file1.js
require("../folder3/file2.js");

// file2.js
const fs = require("fs-cd")(__dirname);
console.log(fs.readdirSync("."));

With the normal fs you would expect it to log out ["file1.js"] since it's the actual source.

With the fs-cd, it uses the current directory which results with it logging out ["file2.js"]

Usage

const fs = require("fs-cd")(__dirname);

console.log(fs.readFileSync("./hello.txt", "utf8"));
