### Introduction

##### Get the root path of an Electron Application.

Finding the root path of an electron app can be tricky, this npm package solves this issue. Follow further instructions to implement the same inside your app.

Initially, I'd created **electron-root-path** package for [OpenMTP  - Advanced Android File Transfer Application for macOS](https://github.com/ganeshrvel/openmtp "OpenMTP  - Advanced Android File Transfer Application for macOS"). It works fine with [Electron React Redux Advanced Boilerplate](https://github.com/ganeshrvel/electron-react-redux-advanced-boilerplate "Electron React Redux advanced boilerplate") and [electron-react-boilerplate](https://github.com/electron-react-boilerplate/electron-react-boilerplate "electron-react-boilerplate")

## Installation

```shell
$ npm install electron-root-path

or

$ yarn add electron-root-path
```

## Usage

```javascript
// Import ES6 way
import { rootPath } from 'electron-root-path';

// Import ES5 way
const rootPath = require('electron-root-path').rootPath;

// e.g:
// read a file in the root
const location = path.join(rootPath, 'package.json');
const pkgInfo = fs.readFileSync(location, { encoding: 'utf8' });
```

- After packaging the app, the *rootPath* will point to the absolute directory path of <APP_PACKAGE_NAME>.app

```javascript
// eg: /Applications/AppName.app
```
- Handle the packaged condition if required using:

```javascript
const isProd = process.env.NODE_ENV === 'production';

// or

// npm install electron-is-packaged

const isPackaged = require('electron-is-packaged').isPackaged;
```
