loado

load all node modules in a folder and then do sth with them

Usage

load all modules(exclude those whose attr(name) equals 'm4') in folder d1, and then sort the them by name, and then run with them in order. ret will be an array of every module's name.

var ret = loado.load({
    container: [],
    path: path.join(__dirname, 'd1'),
    filter: function(module,name){return module.name!='m4';},
    sortby: function(module1,module2){
        return module1.name < module2.name;
    }
}).do(function (m) {
    //...
    return m.name;
});

Options

options for load

• path: required, the path of folder containing modules you want to load.

      path : path.join(__dirname,"d1") //load all modules in folder d1

• container: [](default) or {}, will be returned by function do after appending some values to it

  • when {}
    　　loado.load(...).do(...) will return a json object, filename(ext name removed) or folder name as key

  • when []
    　　return an array

• filter: optional, to exclude some modules you don't want.

      filter : function(module, name){
          //module : the module loaded
          //name : the filename or folder name of the module
          ...
          return false if you want to exclude the module.
      }

• sortby: optional, to sort them before run with them.

      sortby : function(module1, module2){
          //set a rule for the sort(see also Array.sort)
          //module1.__loado_name stores the filename or floder name of the module1
      }

callback for do, if the callback function is

• not passed, loado.load(...).do() will return the options.container with modules appended to
• passed, then return the options.container containing the returned value(if returned and not null) of the callback

Note

The attribute __loado_name will be removed before the result of function do is returned
well its docs is longer than its code. ´_>`
