### Accessing the main module |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
When a file is run directly from Node, `require.main` is set to its |
|
|
|
`module`. That means that you can determine whether a file has been run |
|
|
|
directly by testing |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
require.main === module |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
For a file `foo.js`, this will be `true` if run via `node foo.js`, but |
|
|
|
`false` if run by `require('./foo')`. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Because `module` provides a `filename` property (normally equivalent to |
|
|
|
`__filename`), the entry point of the current application can be obtained |
|
|
|
by checking `require.main.filename`. |
