hapi-repository-loader

One of the best feature of the hapi framework is the plug-in system. Usually in a case of the application not all plug-in comes from external sources. The application itself is organized into plug-ins. This component dynamically loads all data access layer (DAL) repositories from a directory structure.

Installation:

npm install @dukai.net/hapi-repository-loader

or:

yarn add @dukai.net/hapi-repository-loader

Use:

const dalLoader = require('@dukai.net/hapi-repository-loader');

// Example use, the result "dal" object will have all the plugin names as objects to access any plugin repository
const dal = await dalLoader({
    args: {
     	myDalOption1: 'abc',
        myDalOption2: 123
    },
    modules: ['alpha', 'beta', 'gamma']
});

// Example use of DAL object
const orders = await dal.alpha.getOrders();
// If I have plugin in the plugins folder 'inventory-check-things' (as subfolder), dal will have a camelcase object associated with it:
const inventory = await dal.inventoryCheckThings.getInventory();

Options:

// Options with their default values
const options = {
    root: null, // no default, application must specify root folder.
    path: 'plugins', // default directory name for plugins
    subpath: '', // If repository objects are in a sub folder inside plugin subdirectory, then specified here
    ext: '.js', // file extension name 
    name: 'repository', // default name for the repository file
    org: 'dukai.net', // if the external repositories are in the node_modules folder then specify here the org scope
    verbose: false, // If verbose set, then console log reports, which repository got loaded
    args: {}, // Custom args to be passed down to each repository when created
    modules: [] // Installed DAL module names from the node_modules directory, if different scopes used, then specify full scoped names here
};
