urequ

A simple cli command to know WTF is the correct path to be required when we have a complex project.

Install

npm install -g urequ

Usage

urequ requirer required

Find a library path

For example, imagine that inside

/Users/sullof/Projects/qabra/web/src/server/controller/jokes.es6

we want to require the library

/Users/sullof/Projects/qabra/common/lib/remote/funny.js

and we are in a terminal window at

/Users/sullof/Projects/qabra/web

Using the shell autocomplete we can easily execute

urequ src/server/controller/jokes.es6 ../common/lib/remote/funny.js

which will return

const funny = require('../../../../../common/lib/remote/funny')

If the requiring file is not a javascript file the result is a bit different. For example:

urequ src/server/controller/jokes.es6 src/server/data.json

will return

const dataJson = require('../data.json')

Inject a require statement

If you like, you can inject the line at the top of the requirer, specifying the name of the constant. For example:

urequ src/server/controller/jokes.es6 src/server/data.json Data

will inject at the top of jokes.es6 the line

const Data = require('../data.json')

If there is a statement 'use strict' the like is inserted after it. And, of course, after inserting it, you can move it where you like : )
