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

/**
 * Get a random floating point number between `min` and `max`.
 * 
 * @param {number} min - min number
 * @param {number} max - max number
 * @return {number} a random floating point number
 */
function getRandomFloat(min, max) {
  return Math.random() * (max - min) + min;
}

I have been doing a heap of reading about semver and how you can include build meta-data and other things, but I am really struggling to find a way to fit SemVer and Continous Delivery together.

Currently I am the primary maintainer or a main contributor for for:

Tutorial: Meteor in Windows using Vagrant

BEFORE YOU CONTINUE:

• Now, Meteor runs in any Windows without any line of this tutorial. Just download the Meteor binary! Yay!!
• mrt is no longer used with Meteor 1.0

These days some people were discussing at meteor-talk group about running Meteor at Windows and I’ve recommended them using Vagrant. It’s a very developer-friendly piece of software that creates a virtual machine (VM) which let you run any operating system wanted and connect to it without big efforts of configuration (just make the initial installation and you have it working).

Many packages (I've tested) for running Meteor+Vagrant fails because Meteor writes its mongodb file and also other files inside local build folder into a shared folder between the Windows host and the Linux guest, and it simply does not work. So I've put my brain to work and found a solution: do symlinks inside the VM (but do not use ln. Use mount so git can follow it). It’s covered on
