Make it possible to set the working directory to enable relative requires

[holyjak]

I would like to be able to start Mancy from my Node project directory and be able to require files in it (require("./my-project-file.js");). It could either pick up the directory when starting or accept a setting / command line option to set the working directory.

That way, it would be much easier to experiment with an existing project.

(Currently my workaround is to do const root= "/absolute/path/to/project/dir/"; require(root + "my-project-file.js"))

Thank you!

I would be willing to help implement it if you could point me in the right direction (where to look / add it)

@jakubholynet I'll check and let you know. I forgot the reason why I set this

Try this fix 😄 Its a hack to make it work. While loading relative path, parent module file is set as index.html. Let me see whether there exists a better fix for this problem.

Unfortunately This particular fix is tricky, Its not easy to show direction. Very sorry!!!
