How do I get the path to the current script with Node.js?

by

I found it after looking through the documentation again. What I was looking for were the __filename and __dirname module-level variables.

  • __filename is the file name of the current module. This is the resolved absolute path of the current module file. (ex:/home/kyle/some/dir/file.js)
  • __dirname is the directory name of the current module. (ex:/home/kyle/some/dir)
