Is it possible to import modules from all files in a directory, using a wildcard?

Question

With ES6, I can import several exports from a file like this:

import {ThingA, ThingB, ThingC} from \'lib/things\';

However, I like the orga

You can use require as well:

const moduleHolder = []

function loadModules(path) {
  let stat = fs.lstatSync(path)
  if (stat.isDirectory()) {
    // we have a directory: do a tree walk
    const files = fs.readdirSync(path)
    let f,
      l = files.length
    for (var i = 0; i < l; i++) {
      f = pathModule.join(path, files[i])
      loadModules(f)
    }
  } else {
    // we have a file: load it
    var controller = require(path)
    moduleHolder.push(controller)
  }
}

Then use your moduleHolder with dynamically loaded controllers:

  loadModules(DIR) 
  for (const controller of moduleHolder) {
    controller(app, db)
  }
