Defining modules in one file and requiring it in Node.js

1

I'm updating my code to include new packages so often and I have more than 100 files.

I want to make something like this,

File : dependencies.js :

const snekfetch = require("snekfetch");
const fs = require("fs");

It's very annoying to modify every file to add just a single package.

I'm trying to require the dependencies.js using this:

require("./dependencies.js")

But I see this in my console:

ReferenceError: snekfetch is not defined

Is there any way I can succeed?

node.js

I think you are not exporting the modules in dependencies.js
dependencies.js should look like,

 const snekfetch = require("snekfetch");
 const fs = require("fs");
 module.exports = 
 "snekfetch": snekfetch,
 "fs": fs
 ;

Then you should be able to import this file and use it like as follows,

 var dependencies = require('./dependencies.js');
 // dependencies.fs.readFile();

Although there are much better ways to handle your imports then just creating a simple file of dependencies. Have a look at this link.
