@loxjs/load-js-modules v1.0.3

@loxjs/load-js-modules

The @loxjs/load-js-modules module provides a convenient way to dynamically load JavaScript modules from a specified directory. It supports loading individual files as well as entire directories with an optional auto-load feature.

Installation

npm install @loxjs/load-js-modules

Or with yarn:

yarn add @loxjs/load-js-modules

Usage

To use this module, you first need to import it and then call the loadJSModules function with the appropriate options.

Basic Example

const loadJSModules = require('@loxjs/load-js-modules');

// Load modules from a specific directory
const modules = loadJSModules({ dir: './path/to/modules', autoLoad: true });

// Use the loaded modules
modules.forEach((mod) => {
  console.log(`Module ${mod.moduleName} loaded`, mod.module);
});

Advanced Usage

You can also load modules without automatically requiring them, which allows you to require them at a later point in your application.

const loadJSModules = require('@loxjs/load-js-modules');

// Load module information without auto-loading
const modules = loadJSModules({ dir: './path/to/modules', autoLoad: false });

// Require a specific module when needed
const specificModule = modules.find(mod => mod.moduleName === 'specificModule');
const loadedModule = specificModule.loadModule();

// Use the loaded module
console.log(`Module ${specificModule.moduleName} loaded`, loadedModule);
