Hapi-Plugin

A Node.js module you can use to decorate any module to make it a Hapi plug-in.

Motivation

I wanted to use a Service Locator style dependency model in my Hapi projects—However, we all use our modules in different ways and in different projects, and they're not always Hapi projects—therefore, you typically do not want to bake the Hapi plug-in registration code inside all those modules.

By using hapi-plugin you do not need to—you can write your module as you usually would, exporting your objects and functions, and they will be available by using the standard plugins collection on the Hapi server object.

Installation

npm install --save hapi-plugin

Usage

Sample usage:

// Make a Hapi server
var server = new (require('hapi')).Server();
server.connection({
host: 'localhost',
port: 3000
});

// Make Wreck a plugin
var plugin = require('hapi-plugin');
server.register(plugin('http', require('wreck')), function (err) {
if (err) throw err;
});

Any time you need a dependency, you can access the plugins collection, for example, to get the http plug-in registered in the code above:

var http = server.plugins.http; // locate the service
http.get(req.url, options, function (err, res, payload) {
...
});

Options

If you need to do any initialisation before you use the plug-in, export a function init(server, options) and the hapi-plugin module will pass in the Hapi server instance and options value you set in the registration of the plugin.
