Documentation

var localizer = require('localizer');

// localizer is a constructor function there creates a resolve function
var resolve = localizer({
  // default: '/'. Specify search limitation, very useful in secure module
  // resolving. Note that all resolved filepath will not contain the root
  // as a prefix.
  root: '/nothing/below/',

  // default: 'node_modules'. Specify the directory name where modules are
  // stored.
  modules: 'other_modules',

  // default: ['js', 'json', 'node'] specify allowed filetypes, note that the
  // order matters. in this example index.js is prioritized over index.coffee
  allowed: ['js', 'coffee', 'json', 'yaml'],

  // allowed can also be a function, if that is the case it will transform a
  // single basename (e.q. index or index.js) intro multiply basenames given by
  // an array.
  allowed: function (basename) {
    // example, where fileexts are removed and replaced with '.js'
    // (e.q. index.json => index.js)
    return [basename.split('.').shift() + '.js' /*, more basenames */];
  }
});

// The resolve function has two required arguments.
// - The first is the directroy where the search should start,
//   the require.resolve equivalent is __dirname.
// - The second is the actual search query.
//
// It also has an optional callback, if specified the resolve algoritme will
// be performed none blocking.

// sync call
var filepath = resolve('/', 'module_name');

// async call
resolve('/', 'module_name', function (err, filepath) {

});
