requi

Requi

Requi is a simple require on steroids, featuring custom engines, recursive require, filters, renaming and other features.

How to use

Install it on your project with npm install --save requi, required it and you are ready to go.

// Require all .js and .json files inside ./lib folder.
var requi = require('requi');
var allMyLibs = requi('./lib');

Now image that the folder lib contains the fallowing structure:

- lib
  - libA.js
  - libB.js
  - config.json

You are now able to acess your libraries inside the allMyLibs variables using allMyLibs.libA, or maybe allMyLibs.config, if you had a subfolder inside lib folder and you activated recursive : true, than you can access it like allMyLibs['subfolder/otherLib'].

Custom Engines

By default Requi only allow .js and .json files to be required, but you can use it to require other kind of files, let's se how we can require text files :)

var fs = require('fs');
var requi = require('requi');
var myTexts = requi('./texts', {
    recursive : true,
    whiteList : ['.txt'],
    engines : {
        '.txt' : function(path){
            return fs.readFileSync(path).toString();
        }
    }
});

Now myTexts should contain an object whit all texts inside the folder, you can do this for YAML, CoffeeScript and all kind of files.

Options

You can pass an object with options as the second argument to Requi, here is a description with all options that you can use:

• engines: an object with the extension name and a function to require files matching that extension. Default: {'.json' : require , '.js' : require}

• whiteList: an array whit the extensions that can be required. Default: ['.json', '.js']

• blackList: an array whit the extensions that cannot be required. Default: []

• filter: A function that receive the path of the file and returns true or false, files that return false whon't be required. Default: null

• rename: A function that receive the path of the file and need to return a string, that string will be the key of the required object at the end. Default: null

• recursive: A boolean that indicates if Requi needs to be recursive or not. Default: false

• clearPath: A boolean that indicates if Requi should cut off the path of the key name. Default: true

• clearExt: A boolean that indicates if Requi should cut off the extension of the key name. Default: true
