multi-path v0.1.1

multi-path

require a folder/file without the pain

Usage

Let's image the following repository's structure:

.
├── server
│   ├── controllers
│   │   ├── user.js
│   │   └── org_user.js
│   ├── helpers
│   │   └── assets.js
│   └── index.js
├── config
│   ├── env
│   │   ├── development.js
│   │   └── staging.js
│   ├── providers.json
│   └── index.js
└── server.js

In your root file A.K.A. /server.js:

// you can choose the name you want.
global.multiPath = filepath => require('multi-path')( __dirname + filepath )

multiPath function is now available from anywhere in our application.

you can require files like this:

/server/controllers/user.js

const Helpers   = multiPath('/server/helpers')
    , Assets    = Helpers.Assets
    , OrgUser   = multiPath('/server/controllers/org_user')
    , Providers = multiPath('/config/providers')
    , Config    = multiPath('/config')

console.log(Assets)
console.log(OrgUser)
console.log(Providers)
console.log(Config)

this will output:

{ create: [Function],
  read: [Function],
  update: [Function],
  delete: [Function] }
[Function]
{"foo": "bar"}
{"baz": "yolo"}
