load-modules)

> Use matchdep to filter and resolve filepaths to npm module dependencies

Use returned filepaths in your node projects (var load = require('load-modules').load('')), or load into your project's Grunt config data with templates (<%= _.load("foo" %>).

Getting started

Install the module with: npm install load-modules --save

``

js

var load = require('load-modules').load(pattern, config);

console.log(load);







Examples

js

// Resolve filepaths to all dependencies from package.json

require('load-modules').load('foo*');



// Resolve filepaths to all devDependencies

require('load-modules').loadDev('bar-*');



// Resolve filepaths to both dependencies and devDependencies

require('load-modules').loadAll('*-baz'));



// Resolve the path to a specific module

require('load-modules').filepath('module-to-resolve');

First, mixin this module's methods so they can be used in Lo-Dash templates:

js

module.exports = function (grunt) {

  // start by adding this line of JavaScript to your Gruntfile

  grunt.util._.mixin(require('load-modules'));



  grunt.initConfig({...});

  grunt.registerTask(...);

};





with the mixins defined, you can use them in templates like this:

js

grunt.initConfig({

  less: {

    src: ['<%= _.load("normalize.css") %>', '<%= foo.bar %>', 'theme.less'],

    dest: 'dist/'

  }

});



Any specified template strings (

<%= %>

) will be processed when config data is retrieved.

Usage

js

// Resolve filepaths for dependencies

load(pattern, config)

// Resolve filepaths for devDependencies

loadDev(pattern, config)

// Resolve filepaths for all dependencies

loadAll(pattern, config)

// Resolve filepath for a specific module

filepath(pattern, config)
