API

var bowerDirectory = require('bower-directory');

bowerDirectory([option, ]callback)

option

Type: Object
Default: {}

option.cwd

Type: String (relative or absolute file path)
Default: current directory

This function searches this path for .bowerrc.

callback(error, path)

error

null (by default), or a syntax error if .bowerrc exists but isn't a valid JSON.

path

The absolute path where bower components should be saved. It depends on the cwd property and directory property of .bowerrc. If this function cannot find .bowerrc, it uses the default value ({"directory": "bower_components"}).

// /path/to/your/project/foo/.bowerrc: {"cwd": "bar", "directory": "baz"}

bowerDirectory({cwd: 'foo'}, function(err, dir) {
  if (err) {
    throw err;
  }
  console.log(dir);
  // yields: "/path/to/your/project/foo/bar/baz"
});

bowerDirectory.sync(option)

Return: String (absolute file path)

Synchronous version of bowerDirectory().
