# escalade [](https://github.com/lukeed/escalade/actions) [](https://codecov.io/gh/lukeed/escalade)

|
||
> A tiny (183B to 210B) and [fast](#benchmarks) utility to ascend parent directories
|
||
|
||
With [escalade](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Escalade), you can scale parent directories until you've found what you're looking for.<br>Given an input file or directory, `escalade` will continue executing your callback function until either:
|
||
|
||
1) the callback returns a truthy value
|
||
2) `escalade` has reached the system root directory (eg, `/`)
|
||
|
||
> **Important:**<br>Please note that `escalade` only deals with direct ancestry – it will not dive into parents' sibling directories.
|
||
|
||
---
|
||
|
||
**Notice:** As of v3.1.0, `escalade` now includes [Deno support](http://deno.land/x/escalade)! Please see [Deno Usage](#deno) below.
|
||
|
||
---
|
||
|
||
## Install
|
||
|
||
```
|
||
$ npm install --save escalade
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
|
||
## Modes
|
||
|
||
There are two "versions" of `escalade` available:
|
||
|
||
#### "async"
|
||
> **Node.js:** >= 8.x<br>
|
||
> **Size (gzip):** 210 bytes<br>
|
||
> **Availability:** [CommonJS](https://unpkg.com/escalade/dist/index.js), [ES Module](https://unpkg.com/escalade/dist/index.mjs)
|
||
|
||
This is the primary/default mode. It makes use of `async`/`await` and [`util.promisify`](https://nodejs.org/api/util.html#util_util_promisify_original).
|
||
|
||
#### "sync"
|
||
> **Node.js:** >= 6.x<br>
|
||
> **Size (gzip):** 183 bytes<br>
|
||
> **Availability:** [CommonJS](https://unpkg.com/escalade/sync/index.js), [ES Module](https://unpkg.com/escalade/sync/index.mjs)
|
||
|
||
This is the opt-in mode, ideal for scenarios where `async` usage cannot be supported.

```js

const input = join(__dirname, 'demo.js');
|

// or: const input = __dirname;
|
||
|
||
const pkg = await escalade(input, (dir, names) => {
|
||
console.log('~> dir:', dir);
|
||
console.log('~> names:', names);
|
||
console.log('---');
|
||
|
||
if (names.includes('package.json')) {
|
||
// will be resolved into absolute
|
||
return 'package.json';
|
||
}
|
||
});
|
||
|
||
//~> dir: /Users/lukeed/oss/escalade/test/fixtures/foobar
|
||
//~> names: ['demo.js']
|
||
//---
|
||
//~> dir: /Users/lukeed/oss/escalade/test/fixtures
|
||
//~> names: ['index.js', 'foobar']
|
||
//---
|
||
//~> dir: /Users/lukeed/oss/escalade/test
|
||
//~> names: ['fixtures']
|
||
//---
|
||
//~> dir: /Users/lukeed/oss/escalade
|
||
//~> names: ['package.json', 'test']
|
||
//---
|
||
|
||
console.log(pkg);
|
||
//=> /Users/lukeed/oss/escalade/package.json
|
||
|
||
// Now search for "missing123.txt"
|
||
// (Assume it doesn't exist anywhere!)
|
||
const missing = await escalade(input, (dir, names) => {
|
||
console.log('~> dir:', dir);
|
||
return names.includes('missing123.txt') && 'missing123.txt';
|
||
});
|
||
|
||
//~> dir: /Users/lukeed/oss/escalade/test/fixtures/foobar
|
||
//~> dir: /Users/lukeed/oss/escalade/test/fixtures
|
||
//~> dir: /Users/lukeed/oss/escalade/test
|
||
//~> dir: /Users/lukeed/oss/escalade
|
||
//~> dir: /Users/lukeed/oss
|
||
//~> dir: /Users/lukeed
|
||
//~> dir: /Users
|
||
//~> dir: /
|
||
|
||
console.log(missing);
|
||
//=> undefined
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
> **Note:** To run the above example with "sync" mode, import from `escalade/sync` and remove the `await` keyword.
|
||
|

|
||
## API
|
||
|
||
### escalade(input, callback)
|
||
Returns: `string|void` or `Promise<string|void>`
|
||
|
||
When your `callback` locates a file, `escalade` will resolve/return with an absolute path.<br>
|
||
If your `callback` was never satisfied, then `escalade` will resolve/return with nothing (undefined).
|
||
|
||
> **Important:**<br>The `sync` and `async` versions share the same API.<br>The **only** difference is that `sync` is not Promise-based.
|
||
|
||
#### input
|
||
Type: `string`
|
||
|
||
The path from which to start ascending.
|
||
|
||
This may be a file or a directory path.<br>However, when `input` is a file, `escalade` will begin with its parent directory.
|
||
|
||
> **Important:** Unless given an absolute path, `input` will be resolved from `process.cwd()` location.
|
||
|
||
#### callback
|
||
Type: `Function`
|
||
|
||
The callback to execute for each ancestry level. It always is given two arguments:
|
||
|
||
1) `dir` - an absolute path of the current parent directory
|
||
2) `names` - a list (`string[]`) of contents _relative to_ the `dir` parent
|
||
|
||
> **Note:** The `names` list can contain names of files _and_ directories.
|
||
|
||
When your callback returns a _falsey_ value, then `escalade` will continue with `dir`'s parent directory, re-invoking your callback with new argument values.
|
||
|
||
When your callback returns a string, then `escalade` stops iteration immediately.<br>
|
||
If the string is an absolute path, then it's left as is. Otherwise, the string is resolved into an absolute path _from_ the `dir` that housed the satisfying condition.
|
||
|
||
> **Important:** Your `callback` can be a `Promise/AsyncFunction` when using the "async" version of `escalade`.

## Deno
|
||
|
||

|
||
|
||
Please note that the [API](#api) is identical and that there are still [two modes](#modes) from which to choose:
|
||
|
||
```ts
|
||
// Choose "async" mode
|
||
import escalade from 'https://deno.land/escalade/async.ts';
|

|
||
import escalade from 'https://deno.land/escalade/sync.ts';
|
||
