How to get the root directory from a module?

Question

Node.js

In general, this directory structure is:
/app.js
/lib/View.js
/views/index.html
View.js reads index.html in the views folder. As you know, __dirname is different for each module. So I pass __dirname from app.js to the View.js instance to get the root directory there. It doesn't turn out very pretty. How else can I get the root directory of the main script from within any module?

Perhaps you are talking about this?
global.process.cwd();
