locomotion v1.0.5

Locomotion

This is a simple plugin manager / service locator for NodeJS. It is just posted as a reference implementation, it does not do dependency injection, plugin configuration, service builders and all that good stuff. It just shows the basic functionality of how to setup the boilerplate for a plugin architecture.

To use it you need:

• Add locomotion to your project
• create a plugins.json file following this schema:

  {
    "path": "./plugins",
    "plugins": [
        { 
          "module":"palindrome", 
          "dir":"locomotion-plugin-example",
          "source":"https://github.com/drcircuit/locomotion-plugin-example.git"
        }
    ] 
  }

• create your plugins, they will have to have a git repo and use module.exports to work.
• use the .locate(service) function to grab a service instance.
