I want to avoid "relative require" (e.g. require('../../foobar');)
I get that by stuffing everything into a "node_modules" folder.
I want my project's internal modules, which are not published (at least
yet) and only something custom to my project, to be available in the same
way the installed modules are.
So I have a "node_modules" folder at the project root, where all the "npm
install"ed stuff goes in.
I have another in "SOURCE/node_modules" which I maintain manually.
If I ever feel like, I rename that internal module from "_foobar" to
"foobar" and publish it and "npm install" it.
The advantage of the "_naming" is, that I can immediately see which modules
are "npm installed" and which are actually local modules, so I maintain
them myself and I know where to look for.
Everything that I have to manually, for example:
[SOURCE/node_modules/_config.js]
module.exports = { pkg: require('../../package.json') };
I require in "_config.js" by convention, so I can access it in the rest of
my app, by "require('_config').pkg" without further need for relative
require statements.
