Better local require() paths for Node.js

Problem

When the directory structure of your Node.js application (not library!) has some depth, you end up with a lot of annoying relative paths in your require calls like:

var Article = require('../../../models/article');

Those suck for maintenance and they're ugly.

Possible solutions

// Restify Server CheatSheet.
// More about the API: http://mcavage.me/node-restify/#server-api
// Install restify with npm install restify


// 1.1. Creating a Server.
// http://mcavage.me/node-restify/#Creating-a-Server


var restify = require('restify');

public.post('/custom', function*(next) {
  var ctx = this
  yield passport.authenticate('local', function*(err, user, info) {
    if (err) throw err
    if (user === false) {
      ctx.status = 401
      ctx.body = { success: false }
    } else {
      yield ctx.login(user)
      ctx.body = { success: true }

// set-up a connection between the client and the server
var socket = io.connect();

// let's assume that the client page, once rendered, knows what room it wants to join
var room = "abc123";

socket.on('connect', function() {
   // Connected, let's sign-up for to receive messages for this room
   socket.emit('room', room);
