# parent-module [](https://travis-ci.org/sindresorhus/parent-module)
> Get the path of the parent module
Node.js exposes `module.parent`, but it only gives you the first cached parent, which is not necessarily the actual parent.
## Install
```
$ npm install --save parent-module
```
## Usage
```js
// bar.js
const parentModule = require('parent-module');
module.exports = () => {
console.log(parentModule());
//=> '/Users/sindresorhus/dev/unicorn/foo.js'
}
```
```js
// foo.js
const bar = require('./bar');
bar();
```
## API
### parentModule([filepath])
By default, it will return the path of the immediate parent.
#### filepath
Type: `string`<br>
Default: [`__filename`](https://nodejs.org/api/globals.html#globals_filename)
Filepath of the module of which to get the parent path.
Useful if you want it to work [multiple module levels down](https://github.com/sindresorhus/parent-module/tree/master/fixtures/filepath).
## Tip
Combine it with [`read-pkg-up`](https://github.com/sindresorhus/read-pkg-up) to read the package.json of the parent module.
```js
const path = require('path');
const readPkgUp = require('read-pkg-up');
const parentModule = require('parent-module');
console.log(readPkgUp.sync({cwd: path.dirname(parentModule())}).pkg);
//=> {name: 'chalk', version: '1.0.0', ...}
```
