Node require absolute path

Question

I have a directory that looks like this:

-- app/
   |- models/
      |- user.js
   |- config.json

I want my user.js file to re

Answer 1

I dont think we need to discuss about this problem. It is design this way for easy of developer.
If we require /config.json maybe there are alot config.json in the sub folder which will typically make it even harder to understand

-- app/
   |- controller
      |- config.json(2) 
   |- models/
      |- user.js
      |- config.json(3)
   |- config.json(1)

Now tell me how you know which one config file you need to choose.
Solution: user.js

var config1 = require('../config.json');
var config2 = require('../controller/config.json');
var config3 = require('./config.json');

if there are only one config you better put in the global variable and use it from there.
