resolve-from reliably resolves a module path from a given directory. This is crucial when you need to find a package relative to a specific location, ensuring the correct dependencies are used. Unlike require.resolve, it avoids accidentally resolving modules from the current working directory if they're not present in the target directory's module resolution paths. Ideal for tooling and utilities that need precise module resolution within specific project contexts. Its simple API makes it easy to incorporate into your Node.js projects.
The resolve-from npm package has seen infrequent releases. Initial activity occurred in 2014 and 2015 with versions 1.0.0, 1.0.1, and 2.0.0.

Since then, there have been no new versions published, with the latest data up to September 2025 showing no releases.
