Locating a json file from a child directory

Question

I want to access a json file from the parent directory where the files are set up like this

- files
  - commands
    - admin
      - ban.js <-- the file I want my json in
  - command_info.json

(yes this is for a discord.js bot)

in my ban.js ive used these 4 things:
const {CommandInfo} = require("command_info.json")
const {CommandInfo} = require("./command_info.json")
const {CommandInfo} = require("../command_info.json")
const {CommandInfo} = require(".../command_info.json")
and none of them work as they throw the error: Error: Cannot find module './dev_commands.json'

How would I get my ban.js to include my dev_commands.json

Answer 1

there is no .... :D So you need to up 2 folders. ../ == up one folder.

const {CommandInfo} = require("../../command_info.json");

Answer 2

You need to go up 2 times:

const {CommandInfo} = require("../../command_info.json")

Keep in mind each .. means go up once (go to the parent directory).

Answer 3

require('../../command_info.json');
