# findup-sync  [![Build Status](https://travis-ci.org/js-cli/node-findup-sync.svg)](https://travis-ci.org/js-cli/node-findup-sync)  [![NPM version](https://badge.fury.io/js/findup-sync.svg)](http://badge.fury.io/js/findup-sync)

> Find the first file matching a given pattern in the current directory or the nearest ancestor directory.

Matching is done with [micromatch][], please report any matching related issues on that repository. 

## Install with [npm](npmjs.org)

```bash
npm i findup-sync --save
```

## Usage

```js
var findup = require('findup-sync');
findup(patternOrPatterns [, micromatchOptions]);

// Start looking in the CWD.
var filepath1 = findup('{a,b}*.txt');

// Start looking somewhere else, and ignore case (probably a good idea).
var filepath2 = findup('{a,b}*.txt', {cwd: '/some/path', nocase: true});
```

* `patterns` **{String|Array}**: Glob pattern(s) or file path(s) to match against.    
* `options` **{Object}**: Options to pass to [micromatch]. Note that if you want to start in a different directory than the current working directory, specify a `cwd` property here.    
* `returns` **{String}**: Returns the first matching file.

## Running tests

Install dev dependencies:

```bash
npm i -d && npm test
```
