Open file from route in Express

Question

I have developed a Node module which needs a configuration file (CSV). I am trying to use this module within an Express Route module. The problem is that the module fails to load the configuration file.

What kind of Path should I use? relative to the module? relative to the route? relative to the express project folder?

Answer 1

I have used the path module to resolve the relative path

    var url="/relativeDir1/relativeDir2";
    var pathModule = require("path");
    var path =  pathModule.resolve(path.join(__dirname, url));
