Add any path to node's require path
npm install @nodeutils/reqherenpm:
$ npm install @nodeutils/reqhere --save
`
Usage
Wherever you want to be a module root:
`
require("@nodeutils/reqhere")();
`
And everything from there down will be included.
Example:
`
project
│ yourApp.js
│
└───myModules
│ index.js
│ itemA.js
│
├───directoryA
│ │ itemA.js
│ │ itemB.js
│ │ ...
│
└───directoryB
│ index.js
`
If myModules/index.js is given: require("@nodeutils/reqhere")();
Then everything in that directory is added to the path, and the following will work from ANYWHERE in the application:
`
require("itemA"); //myModules/itemA.js
require("directoryA/itemA"); //myModules/directoryA/itemA.js
require("directoryA/itemB"); //myModules/directoryA/itemB.js
require("directoryB"); //myModules/directoryV/index.js
`
$3
Not an issue. Add require("@nodeutils/reqhere")(); as many times as you like, and it will append (both Unix and Windows tested).
$3
You sure can, and it's a good idea too, so you can spot the difference between an installable module and a local one.
1) Make yourself a folder called something like components.
2) In there make a file called index.js containing
"use strict";
require("@nodeutils/reqhere")();
3) Add a folder inside components called, for example, app.
4) Inside app put all your modules and files.
5) Done! From anywhere you can now require("app/someModuleYouMade");
