module-loader

Module Loader is a helper of Express framework, it can help to auto load modules and render routes and middleware by it self.

##How to use

update your express main js file, ex, app.js

var express = require('express');
var moduleLoader = require('../index');
var app = express();

moduleLoader(app).load('modules');

app.listen(3000);
console.log('server init listen 3000');

the module loader will help you load modules those under 'modules' folder.

Then you can put modules in 'modules' folder,

For example, there is a app1 module. the app1 folder structure is below,

├── index.js
└── routes
    └── member.js

index.js file can allocate the route folder name, and reload global library.

index.jsi

module.exports = {
  lib: [
   'lib1'
  ],
  route: 'routes'
};

the routes folder will be put the route setting files. the app1 module already put in a member route. That module loader will help you auto load these route / middleware file in modules.

module.exports = function (app, r) {

  r.addRoute('', 'get', [
    function (req, res) {
      res.send('run index view');
    }
  ]);

  r.addRoute('', 'post', [
    function (req, res) {
      res.send('run index view:POST');
    }
  ]);

  r.addRoute('index/:id', 'get', [
    function (req, res) {
      app.lib.lib1();
      app.lib.lib2();
      res.send('run index/:id');
    }
  ]);

  r.addRoute('info', [
    function (req, res) {
      res.send('run info, and ignore METHOD parameter');
    }
  ]);

};

##Module folder / file structure

├── app.js
├── lib
│   ├── lib1.js
└── modules
    └── app1
            ├── index.js
                    └── routes
                                └── member.js

Help modules which build under Express, can auto load when web service started.
