remi-decorate

A remi extension that adds the decorate method to the target

Installation

npm install --save remi remi-decorate

Usage

Registering the extension

const remi = require('remi')
const remiDecorate = require('remi-decorate')
 
const app = {}
const registrator = remi(app)
registrator.hook(remiDecorate())

Once the remi-decorate extension is registered, the remi plugins can decorate the target app.

The .decorate method can be used to extend the app's API.

function plugin (app, opts, next) {
  // The app can be decorated by one property at once
  app.decorate('sayHello', () => console.log('Hello world!'));
 
  // or by several properties at once
  app.decorate({
    uaCapital: 'Kyiv',
    uaTimezone: 'EET',
  });
 
  next()
}
 
plugin.attributes = {
  name: 'plugin',
}
 
// the decorations will be available in the other plugins
function plugin2 (app, opts, next) {
  app.sayHello()
  //> Hello world!
 
  console.log(app.uaCapital)
  //> Kyiv
 
  console.log(app.uaTimezone)
  //> EET
 
  next()
}
 
plugin2.attributes = {
  name: 'plugin2',
  dependencies: 'plugin',
}

decorate.emulateHapi(type, prop, method)

Hapi's server has a similar decorate function but it expects a type parameter which has to be the first. decorate.emulate allows to extend remi with a hapi alike decorate function that supports server decoration:

const remi = require('remi')
const remiDecorate = require('remi-decorate')
 
const app = {}
const registrator = remi(app)
registrator.hook(remiDecorate.emulateHapi())
 
 
// plugin
module.exports = (plugin, opts, next) => {
  plugin.decorate('server', 'foo', 'bar')
 
  console.log(plugin.foo)
  //> bar
 
  // this will throw an exception because the first parameter is not 'server'
  plugin.decorate('foo', 'bar')
 
  next()
}

Emulating hapi might be useful when developing some modules that want to reuse plugins that were developed for hapi.
