Rekuire
'rekuire' is basically node's 'require' without the relative paths!
It saves you TONS of time refactoring your code, and making it easily reusable.
plus, it makes you code more readable = better!
Installation
to install, type
npm install rekuire
or add it to your package.json
as a dependency.

How to use it?
instead of doing this:
var MyModule = require('../../../MyModule.js');
<-- yuck!
why not do this:
var rek = require('rekuire');
var myModule = rek('MyModule');
or that:
var myCoffee = rek('MyCoffee.coffee');
var myJson = rek('myJson.json');
var myModule = rek('src/api/MyModule');
in order to tell the scanner, not to scan specific folders
use:
var mypath = rek.ignore('out', 'target', 'static/js');
// you should only do it once in your code
if you want to resolve only the file location, for example, when you want to use proxyquire.
use:
var mypath = rek.path('MyModule');
// mypath = 'lib/classes/MyModule.js'
for more examples, I recommend you to checkout the spec file :)

what does it do?
when 'rekuire' is first loaded to the project, it scans the source files locations,
so when you need them they are right there to use!
no relative paths are needed! yeahy!
