Which code pattern demonstrates programmatic nesting of a generator using its resolved module path?

• A. this.composeWith(require.resolve('generator-name'), options)
• B. this.composeWith('generator-name', options)
• C. this.composeWith(resolve('generator-name'), options)
• D. this.composeWithPath('generator-name')

Answer: (A)

Programmatic nesting means invoking another generator from within your generator so its steps run as part of your flow. Yeoman’s composeWith accepts the target generator as a module path, and giving it the resolved path to the generator ensures you load the exact generator you intend. Using require.resolve('generator-name') asks Node to locate the generator’s entry point and returns its absolute file path, which makes the nesting reliable even when generators are installed in different locations or nested inside dependencies. This pattern avoids ambiguity that can come from just passing a simple module name, which may not resolve correctly in more complex project setups. By supplying the concrete, resolved path, you guarantee the nested generator loads and runs as expected, which is why this approach is considered the correct pattern for programmatic nesting.
