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

var crypto = require('crypto');
var _      = require('underscore')._;

// Returns elapsed time in milliseconds
function get_elapsed_time(startTime) {
  var diff = process.hrtime(startTime);
  // (seconds to milliseconds) + (nanoseconds to milliseconds)
  return (diff[0] * 1000) + (diff[1] / 1000000);
}

// NOTE: I previously suggested doing this through Grunt, but had plenty of problems with
// my set up. Grunt did some weird things with scope, and I ended up using nodemon. This
// setup is now using Gulp. It works exactly how I expect it to and is WAY more concise.
var gulp = require('gulp'),
    spawn = require('child_process').spawn,
    node;

/**
 * $ gulp server
 * description: launch the server. If there's a server already running, kill it.

Update: please note that I have since switched to using a set of bash scripts instead of poluting the Git repository with git svn.

Locate the section for your github remote in the .git/config file. It looks like this:

[remote "origin"]
	fetch = +refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/origin/*
	url = [email protected]:joyent/node.git

Now add the line fetch = +refs/pull/*/head:refs/remotes/origin/pr/* to this section. Obviously, change the github url to match your project's URL. It ends up looking like this:

var parser = document.createElement('a');
parser.href = "http://example.com:3000/pathname/?search=test#hash";

parser.protocol; // => "http:"
parser.hostname; // => "example.com"
parser.port;     // => "3000"
parser.pathname; // => "/pathname/"
parser.search;   // => "?search=test"
parser.hash;     // => "#hash"
parser.host;     // => "example.com:3000"
