Question

Start with your module, utils.coffee:

exports.foo = ->
exports.bar = ->

Then your main file:

utils = require './utils'
utils.foo()

foo() and bar() are functions you’ll be calling frequently, so you:

foo = require('./utils').foo
bar = require('./utils').bar
foo()

This approach works when only a few functions are defined in the module, but becomes messy as the number of functions increases. Is there a way to add all of a module’s functions to your app’s namespace?

No. This is, to my knowledge, the best you can do (using CS’ destructuring assignment):

{foo, bar, baz} = require('./utils')
