#Concatenator

Concatenates the contents of a directory. This is useful for loading frontend JavaScript files, html templates, or any other group of files in a directory.

##concatenator.concat_dir(path,options,callback)

options Object

- file_priorites Array By default files will be loaded in whatever order fs.readdir will list them. Files in this array will be loaded before others
- exclude Array Files to be ignored

callback Function The callback is passed two arguments (err, data), where data is the contents represented as an object, string, and array

var Concatenator = require('concatenator');
var concatenator = new Concatenator();

var options = {
file_priorities : [
'file3' //make sure file3 is loaded before everything else
]
}

concatenator.concat_dir('./dirname',options,function(err,data){
console.log(data); /*
{
obj: {
file3: 'contents of file3\n',
file1: 'contents of file1\n',
file2: 'contents of file2\n'
},
arr: [
'contents of file3\n',
'contents of file1\n',
'contents of file2\n'
],
string: 'contents of file3\n\ncontents of file1\n\ncontents of file2\n'
}
*/
})
