How install it

npm i server-load-modules

Why this project?

This project use autoload npm package to load modules. It's only a server-side package because it use filesystem.

How it's works

For this example with have "my-project" as main project, and "my-module" as module.

1. You must define a module-architecture for your projects

ex : add into "package.json" a property "my-project", with a sub-property "paths" which will list paths to load

{
    "name": "my-module",
    "version": "1.0.0",
    ...
    "my-project": {
        "paths": [
            "./folder1",
            "./folder2"
        ]
    }
}

2. Call server-load-modules into my-project

import { loadModules } from 'server-load-modules';
loadModules({
    propertyDetection: ['my-project', 'paths']
}).then(() => {
    // Execute code after load
});

API

Parameters to loadModules are :

interface ILoadParams {
    arbitraryAdd?: string[];
    baseFile?: string;
    basePath?: string;
    global?: EGlobal;
    propertyDetection?: string[];
    onDetection?: (content: any, module: string, fullContent: any) => Promise<string[]>;
}

• arbitraryAdd: Paths to load arbitrary (ex : Some folders to load in my-project), default: []
• baseFile: File to use for module detection, default: package.json
• basePath: Change base path for resolve paths, default: ./
• global: Use global node_modules or not, default: OPTIONAL
  • Values are :
    • OPTIONAL: Try to load modules from npm -g root, but if cannot be done it ignore them
    • DISABLE: No try to load modules from npm -g root
    • REQUIRED: Try to load modules from npm -g root, and if cannot be done, stop load and reject
• propertyDetection: Properties to detect from baseFile, default: []
• onDetection: Callback called on each module detected, default: (e) => { return Promise.resolve(e); }
  • Parameters are :
    • content: JSON of tag detected (with propertyDetection from baseFile)
    • module: Path of module
    • fullContent: JSON of entire file baseFile
