# import-local

|
|
> Let a globally installed package use a locally installed version of itself if available
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Useful for CLI tools that want to defer to the user's locally installed version when available, but still work if it's not installed locally. For example, [AVA](https://avajs.dev) and [XO](https://github.com/xojs/xo) uses this method.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Install
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```sh
|
||
|
|
npm install import-local
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Usage
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```js
|
||
|
|
import importLocal from 'import-local';
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
if (importLocal(import.meta.url)) {
|
||
|
|
console.log('Using local version of this package');
|
||
|
|
} else {
|
||
|
|
// Code for both global and local version here…
|
||
|
|
}
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
You can also pass in `__filename` when used in a CommonJS context.
