dynamicjs

Dynamic loader for NodeJS servers or programs. Accelerate development by only having to turn your head.

Install

npm install dynamicjs

Use

Replaces require with dynamic and superDynamic.

• dynamic : Allows the system to load objects or classes with the dynamic system which will reload them on file change in a clean way.
• superDynamic : Allows the system to use a class as a dependency that can be updated but will not reload existing objects created via the new operator.
• dynamicFile : This sets a raw file up for watching, which will help with frequent accessed files via a local cache.
• dynamicDirectory : Watches a directory for both source changes and raw file changes. This feature is still in flux and will change.

Example

const init = require( "dynamicjs" ).initialize( {
  persistentObjectVariable : "inital value"
});
require( "dynamicjs" ).globalSyntax();
require( "dynamicjs" ).bypass = process.env.NODE_ENV === "production";
const { ClassDeff } = dynamic( "./dynamicModuleName.js" );
init.instance = init.instance || new ClassDeff( { "settings" : "Object" } );

Preparations

Because of the way the dynamic system works any classes that will be included need to extend Object, which they already do but the super call is required.

class myClass extends Object{
  constructor(){
    super();
  }
}

This only has to be on the root of an objects inheritance chain.

Notes

• To use dynamic without a require statement each time make sure to run require( "dynamicjs" ).globalSyntax(); once.
• This is for backend only and will not work in browsers. For browsers use a HMR.
• Minimum nodejs version 10.x

Road Map

• Delete trap needs to be implemented.
• Memory management; as at the moment memory use of the system is poor at best and only sutied for a development a test environment.
