PHP auto_prepend_file alternative in NodeJS

Question

In my NodeJS environment, I want to include a file that will contain some personal helper functions.

Basically I want the same behavior as PHP auto_prepend_file

It should be included automatically both in projects as well as NodeJS CLI. Ideally it shouldn't require require statement. It should just create some global variables for functions that are available everywhere.

if u want to write some utility function in separate file then u have to import that file to make use of those function in nodejs, bcz nodejs works require modules. — Umakant Mane, Oct 17 '16 at 12:20

I'm not sure I understand you.. but do you mean the include or require_once?

they can be used so:

require_once('/path/to/file/helper_functions.php');

or

include('/path/to/file/helper_functions.php');

an example can be this:

$funcs_path = '/path/to/file/helper_functions.php'
if(file_exists ($funcs_path))
{
  require_once($funcs_path);
}

I hope this can help you
