A way to get extensions current directory

[jrowny]

Currently I have FileUtils.getNativeBracketsDirectoryPath() + "/extensions/user/brackets-snippets/data"

Would be awesome if I had something to get the extension's own directory

You can use require.toUrl() to make a path relative to the extension's own directory. For example:

var dataDirectory = require.toUrl("/extensions/user/brackets-snippets/data/")

[jrowny]

toUrl seems to return a reference to a JS file. Doesn't work for a directory. require.toUrl('data'); returns \extensions\user\brackets-snippetes\data.js

Bummer, you're right, it doesn't work right for a directory. In the meantime you could use toUrl("data/.") and just strip the final "."

[jrowny]

looks like you can also use module.uri.replace('main.js', '');

for example, to load from the data folder of my extension, I can do:
var directory = FileUtils.getNativeBracketsDirectoryPath() + "/" + module.uri.replace('main.js', '') + "data";

Moving to the backlog - we need to prioritize probably a number of extensibility stories.

Fix in progress: #943

Fixed. I added FileUtils.getNativeModuleDirectoryPath(). Take a look at src/extensions/disabled/JavaScriptInlineEditor/unittests.js for an example.

Awesome, just tried it and it works great. Thanks!
