What is the 'import * as ...' equivalent for require?

When using the ES6 import command, you can use an alias to import all functions from a file, for example:

import * as name from "module-name";

Is there an equivalent way to do this using require, i.e.:

const { * as name } = require('module-name');

As simple as:

const name = require('module-name')

Usage:

name.yourObjectName

const name = require('moduleName.js');

This means that when you have (moduleName.js)...

function foo(){
    ...
}

module.exports = { foo };

...the foo() function can be accessed by another file using:

const name = require('moduleName.js');
name.foo();
