Quire

Welcome to the future, where less is cool.

What is Quire?

Quire gets rid of the 're' in 'require.' What do you get out of Quire?

  • Less typing.
  • Convenient namespacing in deeply nested paths.
  • Avoid eslint's global-require rule altogether. Your code isn't crappy if you can abstract away the inconsistencies!

OK, I'm fully convinced. How do I use it???

Suppose you have a not-so-deeply nested file somewhere:

// path/shared/someModule.js
module.exports = () => 'Hello, dude!'

Let's say you also have a couple other modules in the same folder, anotherModule and yetAnotherModule.

Now, in a much more deeply nested file, Quire makes including the aforementioned modules a breeze! Check it:

// path/to/my/thingy/index.js
const Quire = require('quire')
const quire = new Quire('path/shared') // Easy to read, relative to root

const someModule = quire('someModule') // Nothin' but the module name, baby
const anotherModule = quire('anotherModule') // You know you like it, don't deny
const yetAnotherModule = quire('subpath/yetAnotherModule') // Aww yea, this rox!

// Look ma, no ../'s!

process.stdout.write((someModule()) // Outputs 'Hello, dude!'

So modern! So... wait.. why are you using CommonJS?

Until the war of "Michael Jackson script," dynamic imports, et. al, is won, we're stuck with one foot in the present, and one foot in the future. Which technically puts you in the future. So be happy.

P.S., have you heard about ES9 yet?
