Nodejs – Determine root path of application

Simple ways to determine root path of your node.js applications:

• Add this somewhere towards the start of your main app file: app.js

global.__basedir = __dirname;

Use it just like any other global variables:

folderPath = __basedir + '/storage/data.json';
// or
const userModule = require(__basedir + '/modules/user.module.js');

• NodeJS.Process.cwd():

const process = require('process');
...
const __basedir = process.cwd();
const userModule = require(__basedir + '/modules/user.module.js');
