express-routes-autoloader

A simple easy to use asynchronous autoloader, drop-in, configure & BOOM!

In your express project directory.

$ npm install express-routes-autoloader

right after you initialize express in (app|index).js (or whatever's your file with the routes definition)

var autoloader = require('express-routes-autoloader'),
    path = require('path');
var app = express();
new autoloader(path.join(__dirname, 'path/to/routes')).load(app); //I just recommend using path, because of the relative URLs

And that's all folks!

What this does? It automatically generates routes for you based on your "routes" directory structure

so for a directory structure like,

- routes
    |
    |- website
        |- deeper
            |- wow.js
        |- much.js
        |- very_shibe.js
    |- api
        |- nice.js

It'll automatically generates routes to quickly get you up and running!

/website/deeper/wow
/website/much
/website/very_shibe.js

/api/nice

Nice "to have" things:

• Currently it needs to be required and then hooked with the express.js instance, will look into making it like other plugins
• Better autoloading probably
• Haven't encountered different encodings
