Get rid of `../` from `require()`

.js

const Module = require('module');
const original_resolveFilename = Module._resolveFilename;

Module._resolveFilename = function(...args){
  args[0] = args[0].startsWith('>') ? args[0].replace('>', __dirname) : args[0];
  return original_resolveFilename(...args);
};

.md

I have grown tired of having lots of ../ in my require paths... so i took matters into my own hands!

Lets say you have a require like this one require('../../../conf'), if you move the file, it will break.

The following JS code addes > as a short cut to where app.js(or what ever the entry file is) so now you can get a clean

require that looks like this require('>/conf') and is valid anywhere in your project!
