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:

const Article = require('../../../../app/models/article');

Those suck for maintenance and they're ugly.

Possible solutions

Gemfile

source "http://rubygems.org"

group :development do
  gem 'sass'
  gem 'compass'
  gem 'compass-validator'
  gem 'css_parser'
  gem 'guard'
  gem 'guard-compass'
  gem 'guard-shell'

gorsuch
