conchain

Chaining dirs together for a nice workflow

Based on consign and middleware-chain

Please not this is very WIP and isnt very user-friendly

Usage

Directory setup:

app
    index
        models
            main.js
        middleware
            main.js
        routers
            main.js

Starting a chain:

var conchain = require('conchain');
 
conchain({base: 'app/index'}, app, [
    'models',
    'middleware',
    'routers'
]);

Conchain requires 3 arguments

• An options object

Defaults:

{
    base: '', // starting directory
    sep: '/', // directory seperator
    log: { // debug logging
        base: true,
        dir: false,
        file: false
    }
}

• The express app
• An array of directory names

Example:

[
    'models',
    'middleware',
    'routers'
]

A chain directory can have multiple javascript files. A js file should return a function when called with require. This function has to accept 3 arguments:

• mod: The local script enviroment, you should save everything in here
• context: The global enviroment, all the other scripts get bundled in here
• app: The express app

If you want to access another scripts enviroment you have to call it like this: context[directory name][script name]
