Make script write to root directory instead of module directory

I'm trying to make my script write a file to the root directory instead of the module directory

const fs = require("fs");
const path = require("path");

fs.writeFileSync(path.join(__dirname, dir, "file.txt"), this.config);

but no matter what I try it makes it in the module directory.

If you run your program from your root directory (the root of your project folder?), you might want to use process.cwd():

fs.writeFileSync(path.join(process.cwd(), "file.txt"), this.config);
