Question

I’m trying to pull an entire module into the current scope of another file after a require call.

For instance if my module looks like this:

exports.chai = require "chai"
exports.mocha = require "mocha"
exports.Q = require "q"

How can I then access the individual variables like they are global variables in the current file? So instead of doing something like requireVar.chai I can just type chai?

Thanks for any advice

Using coffeescript, I recommend you use the destructuring assignment feature:

{chai, mocha, Q} = require 'some_module'

// use chai, mocha and Q for good stuff
