Require multiple api files nodejs

My node.js app is set up where I have an /app/api folder, which has several subfolders and subfiles as such:

/app/api/admin/admin_api.js

/app/api/admin/another_admin_api.js

/app/api/general/generic_api.js

/app/api/general/another_generic_api.js

...

Is there a way I can tell my app to use & require ALL of the .js files in /app/api?

Thanks in advance!

The first solution would be to create an index.js in /app/api and export your modules from it.

e.g /app/api/index.js :

const file1 = require('./file1.js');
const file2 = require('./file2.js');

module.exports = {
  file1: file1,
  file2: file2
};

Now when you require the folder /app/api (const api = require('./app/api')) your modules will be available through api.

You also can use something like glob or require-all.

You can use Browsing.js or https://www.npmjs.com/package/bundle-up2 based on your requirements. Although I would recommend not bundling if you are working on API side of nodejs for sake of readability. Browsify should fit your requirement if you are working on client side scripting.
