Requiring modules/folders/files in the right way

Installation

npm i rooted --save

Usage

////// bad
var data    = require('../../../../data.json');
var helpers = require('../../../helpers');
 
///// good
// will build the path starting from the root directory of your application
// and require the respective file/folder/module

console.log(typeof data); // "string"
