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

require 'csv'
require 'open-uri'

csv_text = open('http://www.vvv.hh.yyy.ggg/~hhhh/uuuu.csv')
csv = CSV.parse(csv_text, :headers=>true)
csv.each do |row|
  puts row
end

RAILS & POSTGRES WITH WERCKER AND DATABASE_URL

Basically, if you prefer to use DATABASE_URL in your application better than creating the whole database.yml thing, set the following ENV variable in your wercker app settings:

APP_POSTGRES_PASSWORD (required)
APP_POSTGRES_USER (optional)
APP_POSTGRES_DB (optional)
DATABASE_URL (value below)

name: DATABASE_URL

	if Shell.is_directory path then
	path \|> Shell.readdir \|> Array.enum \|> map ((^) (path ^ "/")) \|> map files \|> Enum.flatten
	else
	Enum.singleton path

	let read_file filename =
	File.with_file_in filename IO.read_all
