auto-js-loader v1.0.6

auto-js-loader

Ps. This module is based on "app-config" - https://www.npmjs.com/package/app-config

Loader utility for Node.js to load different set of files in a folder based on working directory.

Use require('auto-js-loader')('DIRECTORY') when "DIRECTORY" is the directory of the files you want to load.

NOTE: The file is loaded only once. If you want to load the file again, you will need to reload the application.

Quick intro to usage

Create the file

/app_root/commons/connection.js

Give the file some content

// Driver for MongoDB
var mongoose = require('mongoose');

// Connection properties
mongoose.connect('mongodb://localhost/mydb');

// MongoDB connection
var db = mongoose.connection;
db.on('error', console.log('Connection error...'));
db.once('open', function(callback) {
    console.log("MongoDB connected.");
});

module.exports = mongoose;

Load the file in your app

var commons = require('auto-js-loader')('commons');
var mongoose = commons.connection;

console.log(mongoose.connection.readyState);

Run your app

node app.js
