## API
The package is available by importing its default function:
```js
import resolveDependency from 'resolve-dependency'
```
## `async resolveDependency(`
`path: string,`
`relativeFrom?: string,`
`): { path: string, isDir: boolean }`
For the path that is used to require a module from another module, find the destination of the actual file on the file system. This includes the index JS and JSX files of directories. The second `relativeFrom` argument is used to point to the file in which the path is required from.
```js
/* yarn example/ */
import resolveDependency from 'resolve-dependency'
import { resolve } from 'path'
(async () => {
// 1. Resolve index.js from directory
const res = await resolveDependency('./example/dir')
console.log(res)
// 2. Resolve index.jsx from directory
const res2 = await resolveDependency('./example/jsx')
console.log(res2)
// 3. Resolve file without extension
const res3 = await resolveDependency('./example/dir/index')
console.log(res3)
// 4. Resolve relative dependency
const res4 = await resolveDependency('./lib', 'example/jsx/index.js')
console.log(res4)
// 4. Resolve absolute dependency
const res5 = await resolveDependency(
'./lib', resolve('example/jsx/index.js'))
console.log(res5)
})()
```
```
{ path: 'example/dir/index.js', isDir: true }
{ path: 'example/jsx/index.jsx', isDir: true }
{ path: 'example/dir/index.js', isDir: false }
{ path: 'example/jsx/lib/index.js', isDir: true }
{ path: '/Users/zavr/adc/resolve-dependency/example/jsx/lib/index.js',
isDir: true }
