README
app-require-path
A module to ease the burden of requiring files from within a project. Unlike some similar modules this module functions correctly whether in a final project or a module used by other projects.
Usage
// Override `require`, this is completely optional.
var require = require(‘app-require-path’)().require;
// Require `lib/errors` from the base of your project
var errors = require(‘~/lib/errors’);
// require a project module using the value of an environment variable as
// part of the filename. If the environment variable isn’t set use ‘default’.
var envConfig = require(‘~/{% NODE_ENV|default %}-config’);
// require a module using the default module search paths
var other = require(‘other’);
Methodology
Much of the code is identical to that of app-root-path
though this module does not base the project root detection on the presence of a node_modules folder.
Instead attempts to locate a package.json file are used as all node modules/projects should have such
a file even if they have no external dependencies.
Additionally this module is safe to use within a module which is developed and intended for others to
include within their projects. To ensure safe usage within such a module you should supply
__dirname when you require this module.
var require = require(‘app-require-path’)(__dirname).require;
