customizable-loader

Simple utility to customize your own scripts loader (for Node.js only).

It lets you...:

1. Set your own basepath for each loader you instantiate.

2. Extend each loader to add new capabilities to it.

3. Specify the paths through an array of strings, or through a string.

1. Installation

  ~$ npm install customizable-loader

2. Usage

1. Import it in your code:

  var Loader = require("customizable-loader");

2. Create your own custom loader

You must specify the basepath of each loader, and optionally, a function that tells how to extend this custom loader:

    var MyLoader = new Loader(__dirname, function(loader) {

      loader.newFunctionality = "...";

    });

3. Use your own customized loader freely:

1. You can resolve paths from strings:

    // This will return a string only:
   
    MyLoader.resolve("path", "to", "my", "script");
   

2. Or you can directly include Node.js modules from strings:

   // This will return the Node.js module exported from the specified file:
   
   MyLoader.include("path", "to", "my", "script"); // This returns the Node.js module
   

3. Also, you can pass directly the path you want in a string, and it will work the same:

   MyLoader.include("path/to/my/script");
   

That is it.
