Extend node require to enable multiple module require in one line

esrequire

This module extend node.js original require method to enable you require multiple module in one single call. Use with es6 destructuring you can require modules in a very concise way, utilize features like es6 module.

Install

    $ npm install esrequire --save

Require it in you apps first line

    require('esrequire');

    // same as native node require
    require('express');  
    
    // pass multi module name like this, result will be an object 
    var modulesObject = require('express co koa');
    
    // pass an module name array, result is an array of module in the same order
    var modulesArray = require(['express', 'co', 'koa']);

This seems not a big deal, but if you use it with ES6 desctructuring, it will be very awesome

    // require multiple module in one line
    let {express, co, koa} = require('express co koa');
    let [express, co, koa] = require(['express', 'co', 'koa']);

    // rename module 
    let {'body-parser': bodyParser, koa} = require('body-parser koa');
    let [bodyParser] = require(['body-parser']);

    // only require what you need
    let {Router} = require('express');

This module also has export an object esRequire to global, it provide some handy require method, for example folder require

    // require all the files in one folder.
    let {module1, module2, module3} = esRequire.folder('./test', __dirname);
