I have node.js modules in several directories because I am following MVC pattern. I am in need to call require to several modules which are located outside current directory. How can I do that?
/app/controller/c1.js
...
/app/model/m1.js
...
/app/view/v1.js
...
/app/view/v2.js
// this works
require('./v2');
// these doesn't work
require('../model/m1.js');
require('~/model/m1.js');
...
Why is that so?
For modules in other directories, use the format:
testAuth =require('./public/javascripts/test.js'),
//in case the test.js is in the public/javascripts directory (I am using Linux)
If you skip the '.js' extension, node should look for .js first before .json etc.
hope it helps.
check out this project
it allows you to use "require" without the relative paths, just stating the file/class name
