## Stop requirejs from traversing at a certain point

> Whatever you do — don't look up

Stop requirejs' search path from looking higher than a given directory. This behaviour is should prevent your application from finding modules installed globally, or on a higher level directory, like in a mono-repo containing many packages.

```js

describe('my-tests', () => {

    require('dont-look-up')(__dirname);

    it('Should only traverse up to current root directory', () => { ... });

});

```

### Example

Consider the following tree

```

└── repository

    ├── package

    │   ├── index.js

    │   ├── package.json

    │   └── node_modules

    │       └── child-level-module

    ├── index.js

    ├── package.json

    └── node_modules

        └── parent-level-module

```

| package/index.js

| ---

```js

require('parent-level-module'); // works

require('child-level-module'); // works

```

With "don't look up"

```js

require('dont-look-up')(__dirname);

require('parent-level-module'); // throws error

require('child-level-module'); // works

```
