# find-parent-dir [](http://travis-ci.org/thlorenz/find-parent-dir)
|
|
|
|
Finds the first parent directory that contains a given file or directory.
|
|
|
|
npm install find-parent-dir
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
// assuming this is called from a file in a subdirectory of /myprojects/foo which contains .git directory
|
|
var findParentDir = require('find-parent-dir');
|
|
|
|
findParentDir(__dirname, '.git', function (err, dir) {
|
|
// has err if some file access error occurred
|
|
console.log(dir); // => /myprojects/foo/
|
|
|
|
// if parent dir wasn't found, dir is null
|
|
})
|
|
|
|
// Same using `sync` method
|
|
var dir;
|
|
try {
|
|
dir = findParentDir.sync(__dirname, '.git');
|
|
console.log(dir); // => /myprojects/foo/
|
|
// if parent dir wasn't found, dir is null
|
|
} catch(err) {
|
|
console.error('error', err);
|
|
}
|

```
