hapi-context-app

hapi.js plugin - Include request.server.settings.app in default view context.

##Install

npm install --save hapi-context-app

##Background

For pretty much any website with app config (title, etc), it's handy to have that info in a view.

Instead of having to add request.server.settings.app to every route like so:

handler: function (request, reply) {
    ...
    reply.view('index', {
        app: request.server.settings.app
    });
}

And in my template I might have something like:

<h1>{{app.siteName}}</h1>

This module saves the work by ensuring request.server.settings.app is included in every view context on your server, so you don't need to manually include it in your handlers.

##Usage

Just register like any Hapi plugin:

server.register(require('hapi-context-app'), (err) => {

    if (err) {
        throw err;
    }

    server.start(function (err) {

        if (err) {
            throw err;
        }
        console.log('Server started!');
    });
});

You can then output app in your views.
