demander v0.0.1

demander

Loades modules in an alternative to node.js native 'require' method, allowing to load a module with additional global-like variables (like dirname or filename).

Also useful, if you want to hide some global methods or variabels from your module scope.

Quickstart

npm install demander

Then make reference inside yor module...

const demand = require('demander');

const result = demand('filename');
