Use process.cwd() which is also documented here: https://nodejs.org/api/process.html

This might solve your problem:

__dirname

Check with a console log whether it's what you wanted or not.

There are multiple ways of achieving this. One of them is you can use this package,

app-root-path

Install the package with the command :

npm i -S app-root-path                   //install the package

Use package where you required :

var appRoot = require('app-root-path');  //require package 
console.log(appRoot);                    //use variable as string

You can import the package and use variable where ever you require inside the app. You can check this package documentation visiting this link.
