App-specific modules without a huge relative path string.

Installation

npm i -S requier

Usage

First, you need to set a directories.requier property inside your project's package.json. This property specifies the folder where your app-specific modules reside.

You can read more about the directories property in NPM's documentation.

Example:

{
  "name": "my-awesome-project",
  "version": "0.42.0",
  "main": "index.js",

  //...

  "directories": {
    "requier": "./my_app_modules"
  }
}

Then you can start using it:

var r = require('requier');

var mySpecificModule = r('my-specific-module');

Little tip

To avoid boilerplate, you can register requier as a global inside your main file:

// inside your app's main file...
globals.requier = require('requier');

// inside any other file
var mySpecificModule = requier('my-specific-module');

Testing

This is an experimental package that I wrote in an afternoon. Its code is also very small (15 lines). As such, I didn't bother to write any tests yet.
