cross-dirname

Node.js / Gjs / Deno module that returns the current script dirname. Similar to __dirname but also works in CommonJs and ES modules.

Installation

npm install cross-dirname --save

Usage

/path/to/the/script.mjs

import dirname from 'cross-dirname'

console.log(dirname()) // outputs "/path/to/the"

CommonJs

console.log(require('cross-dirname')() === __dirname) // true
