Dead-stupid init.d-like plugin manager for node.js
npm install jsplugsDead-stupid init.d-like plugin manager for node.js.
``bash`
$ npm install jsplugs
Returns a _jsplugs_ object that contains plugs.
Loads plugs into the jsplugs object.
`js`
require('/path/to/plugs')
require('/path/to/plugs/myplug.js')
require([ 'dir1', 'dir2', ... ])
require('dir1', 'myplug2.js', ...)
Returns jsplugs.plugs.
Returns a hash of all the plugs loaded, in order. Each plug has an ordinal. Ordinals are a numeric prefix
to plug filenames (e.g. the ordinal of 010.xyz.js is 010). Files without an ordinal are always last.
This example shows how to use _jsplugs_ to plug in middleware into an express server. jsplugs fits well here because
it supports ordering using ordinal prefix.
Given the directory structure:
* ./middleware
* ./middleware/050.cors.js
* ./middleware/100.auth.js
* ./middleware/120.log.js
* ./middleware/200.app.js
* ./middleware/999.errors.js
`js
var express = require('express');
// create an instance of jsplugs and load all the plugs under ./middleware
// now middleware contains an ordered hash of all the plugs and their require()ed payload.
var middleware = require('jsplugs')().require('./middleware');
var server = express.createServer();
for (var mw in middleware) {
console.log('using', mw);
server.use(middleware[mw]);
}
server.listen(8080);
