How to require all files in a folder with Node.js?
To require all files in a folder with Node.js, we can create an index.js file that exports all the files we want to require.
Then we can require the index.js file.
For instance, we write
routes/index.js
exports.something = require("./routes/something.js");
exports.others = require("./routes/others.js");
to export the ./routes/something.js and ./routes/others.js modules.
Then we can require the routes/index.js file with
app.js
const routes = require("./routes");
routes has the something and others properties.
routes.something references require("./routes/something.js") and routes.others references require("./routes/others.js").
Conclusion
