es6 - import all named module without alias

Question

I know that we can import all named modules with alias as below,

import * as name from \"module-name\";

Answer 1

global is your current scope in node.js, similar to the window object in the browser, so you can import into this object.

To import all symbols from util module:

import * as util from "./util";
util.importAll(util, global);

In util.js:

/**
 * Takes all functions/objects from |sourceScope|
 * and adds them to |targetScope|.
 */
function importAll(sourceScope, targetScope) {
  for (let name in sourceScope) {
    targetScope[name] = sourceScope[name];
  }
}

... and a number of other functions like assert() etc., which I need everywhere, and which should be part of the JavaScript language, but are not yet. But as others said, use this sparingly.
