The name "r6" is simply a numeronym of "require". In this case, 'r' followed by 6 letters.

How to install

npm install r6

How to use

var r6 = require('r6')({ options });

Options

• contextPath: The root directory to search from. If not specified, r6 will use the directory of your main js file (entry point).
• useGlobal: Assigns the r6 function to the global scope as "r6" and returns undefined. This prevents you from having to re-require r6 in all js files.
• legacy: Utilizes local module search, and allows for the omitting of a leading forward-slash '/' for local modules. This is to retain backwards-compatibility, but it's use is not recommended.

Examples

// Instead of...
var fu = require('../../../../fight/kung');


// Loads module using the main js file's directory as the context
var r6 = require('r6')();
var fu = r6('/fight/kung');


// Use with installed modules if you want
// (In this case, the "optimize" option is suggested)
var r6 = require('r6')({ contextPath: __dirname });
var fu = r6('/fight/kung');
var path = r6('path');


// Use as a global
// File #1
require('r6')({ contextPath: __dirname, useGlobal: true });
var fu = r6('/fight/kung');

// File #2
var booty = r6('/pirate/booty')
