About

This module requires files via aliases

Example

const LoadAlias = require('load-alias');

const loadConfig = {
  public: 'public/',
  css: '@public/css/',
  img: '@public/img/',
  favicon: '@img/favicon.ico',
  db: 'db/',
  dbModels: '@db/models/',
  upload: 'upload/',
  test: function (alias, replacement) {
	  return 'some/thing';
  }	
}

const alias = new LoadAlias(loadConfig); // or new loadAlias(rootPath, loadConfig) 

let modelUser = alias.load('@dbModels/user.js');
let imgAvatarPath = alias.getPath('@img/avatar.png');  // => 'public/img/avatar.png'
let imgAvatarFullPath = alias.getFullPath('@img/avatar.png'); // => alias.rootPath + '/public/img/avatar.png'
let path = alias.require('path'); // gets nodejs path library
let something = alias.require('./relative/path/'); // doesn't merge with .rootPath

The default alias.rootPath = process.cwd()
But you can change it: alias.rootPath = something
