Ember-cli addon read configurations

Question

I am trying to create an ember-cli addon and I want this addon to include custom command. This part I have already done by creating a lib/commands file structure and including the script that will run the command then used includedCommands in the addon index.js.

The part I am struggling with is I want the command to be able to read a configuration file within the host applications directory. How can I do this? If I could find out the host apps absolute path I suppose I could parse a file using built in node tools but how do I find this path?

If there are better ways to accomplish this task I am all ears.

In your commands run function, you can access this.project which provides details about the project.

What you want to use is this.project.root.. it's the root directory of the project.

Ah, this is perfect and seems more clean than my method. Thanks – tomasbasham Apr 28 '15 at 18:02

I have managed to solve the problem. Don't know if it is the best way. So I am able to obtain the absolute process path in node just by using process.cwd() Then I can simply append a config file name to the end of the string to get my config file absolute path.

If there are any ember-cli specific ways that I should be doing this then please let me know.
