Better local require() paths for Node.js

include.md

Config

Add this global function to main entrypoint like index.js

global.include = prevPath => {
  const newPath = prevPath.replace('@', __dirname + '/')
  console.log(prevPath, '=>', newPath)

  return require(newPath)
}

Use

const express = require('express') // <- global package
const routes = include('@routes/api') // <- local package

const app = express()

// some stuff...

app.use('/api', routes)

// some stuff...

app.listen(80)
