reqall

require multiple files in node

How?

var modules = require('reqall')()

will load all the .js files in the directory into an object. If we had 4 javascript files in the directory, named 'one.js','two.js',etc our object would look like this:

{
  one: function,
  two: function,
  three: function,
  four: function
}

assuming that all the modules (one.js,etc) are written such that exports = function(){}; there's no magic there, all we do is call require on each one of the js modules in the directory and create an object of the results.

You can also specify module names, and only those modules will be loaded. This uses require syntax, so if you want to reqall some specific files in the same directory you'd need to call reqall('./file','./file2').

var modules = require('reqall')('request','./mylib','flatiron')

would work just fine, assuming you've got request and flatiron installed from npm.

{
  request: function,
  mylib: valueOrWhatever,
  flatiron: object
}

Caveats

you can't access the calling script via the returned object. ie, if i call reqall from a script index.js then there will be no index property in the object. this is a node limitation (well technically this could work in node sometimes, but I've disabled it for sure), but also why would you ever want to do that.
