module-link

npm link file

Install

npm install npm-link-file --save-dev

Usage

npm-link-file ./lib/path/file.js file-library

How

Here's the rundown, when you run command above the following happens.

1. create directory node_modules_linked
2. create direcotry node_modules_linked/<name>
3. create package.json with name and main
4. simlink <file> to node_modules_linked/<name>/index.js
5. simlink node_modules_linked/<name> to node_modules/<name>

Why?

Have you ever wanted to require a file absolutely as a module?

var fileLibrary = require("file-library")

Instead of relatively like this.

var fileLibrary = require("./lib/path/file.js")
