Better local require() paths for Node.js

Problem

When the directory structure of your Node.js application (not library!) has some depth, you end up with a lot of annoying relative paths in your require calls like:

const Article = require('../../../../app/models/article');

Those suck for maintenance and they're ugly.

Possible solutions

Here's how you could create custom error classes in Node.js using latest ES6 / ES2015 syntax.

I've tried to make it as lean and unobtrusive as possible.

Defining our own base class for errors

errors/AppError.js

	{
	"env": {
	"browser": true,
	"node": true,
	"es6": true
	},

	"plugins": ["react"],

	"ecmaFeatures": {

	[push]
	default = current
	[user]
	email = [email protected]
	name = Nik Butenko
	[core]
	autocrlf = input
	excludesfile = /Users/nkbt/.gitignore
	ignorecase = true
	[alias]
