# import-local [](https://travis-ci.org/sindresorhus/import-local)
|
|
|
|
> Let a globally installed package use a locally installed version of itself if available
|
|
|
|
Useful for CLI tools that want to defer to the user's locally installed version when available, but still work if it's not installed locally. For example, [AVA](http://ava.li) and [XO](https://github.com/xojs/xo) uses this method.
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Install
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
$ npm install import-local
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Usage
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
const importLocal = require('import-local');
|
|
|
|
if (importLocal(__filename)) {
|
|
console.log('Using local version of this package');
|
|
} else {
|
|
// Code for both global and local version here…
|
|
}
|
|
```
