## README

# import-cwd

> Import a module like with [`require()`](https://nodejs.org/api/globals.html#globals_require) but from the current working directory


## Install

```
$ npm install import-cwd
```


## Usage

```js
const importCwd = require('import-cwd');

// Target module is at '/Users/sindresorhus/unicorn/foo.js'

console.log(__dirname);
//=> '/Users/sindresorhus/rainbow'

console.log(process.cwd());
//=> '/Users/sindresorhus/unicorn'

const foo = importCwd('./foo');
```


## API

### importCwd(moduleId)

Like `require()`, throws when the module can't be found.

### importCwd.silent(moduleId)

Returns `undefined` instead of throwing when the module can't be found.

#### moduleId

Type: `string`

What you would use in `require()`.
