Exposing Internal Utils (Javascript)

off.the.walls

What do people think is a good way to do this, say i'm writing a project and want a single utils file that can contain some auth methods, helper methods etc etc, do you think using a node set up it would be better to do require('../../../../utils'); or perhaps expose it on the window object?

Any reason not to make it a module and declare it as a dependency?

EDIT: BTW there is no window object in node, or is this supposed to run in the browser?

Apologies, this is where my confusion lay, I know in terms of libraries such as jQuery they expose their functionality on the window. This is where I was hitting a wall with this!

Try and avoid putting things in global scope if you can help it. We have evolved a lot since the JQuery days, there are many options for modularization in Javascript.
