Find the file which was require() called in Node.js source files. Works for both local files and packages in node_modules/.

The plugin exposes one function which returns the full path of the required file. The cursor must hover over a line which contains a require statement. Using regular expressions it extracts the require calls contents and finds the required file.

Example:

" Place your cursor over a line containing a `require()` statement
:execute 'edit ' . require#find_in_current_line()

Using a mapping:

autocmd FileType javascript nnoremap <buffer>gf :execute 'edit ' . require#find_in_current_line()<cr>

require#find_in_current_line()

Infers the path of the current buffer and the current line. Returns the path of found file.

require#find(current_file, require_stmt)

Pass the current file path and the require statement to the function. Returns the path of the found file. Example usage: echom require#find(expand('%:p'), expand('<cword>'))

You need a VIM version that was compiled with Python 2.6 or later (+python).

Add this to your .vimrc
