node-loopie v1.0.4

node-loopie

Reduce your code with node-loopie. Routes declaration, models, and etc... node-loopie will shorten it for you. Converts your nodejs files in a folder to an object.

• Declarative: node-loopie helps you shorten your code, you don't have to declare multiple properties to export your object or even initialize function(s). It makes recognition of objects easier with just looking at your file names.

Installation

Install with npm:

$ npm install --save node-loopie

Usage

Arguments

nl(folder_path, callback, ignore_file_names, extension_name)

• folder_path (required) : String folder path of the files you want to loop.
• callback : Function function to be executed. passes 3 arguments: file String, filename String, file File.
• ignore_file_names : Array (String) array of file names to be ignored in a folder.
• extension_name extension name of the files you want to loop from.

Examples

Sequelize (index.js)

const Loopie = require('node-loopie');
const path = require('path');
const Sequelize = require('sequelize');
const env = NODE_ENV || 'localhost';
const config = require('/../config/config.js')[env];
const db = {};

let sequelize;
if (config.use_env_variable) {
	sequelize = new Sequelize(process.env[config.use_env_variable], config);
} else {
	sequelize = new Sequelize(
		config.database,
		config.username,
		config.password,
		config
	);
}

// Get all the filename inside the models folder
Loopie(__dirname, (file) => {
	const model = require(path.join(__dirname, file))(
		sequelize,
		Sequelize.DataTypes
	);
	db[model.name] = model;
});

Object.keys(db).forEach((modelName) => {
	if (db[modelName].associate) {
		db[modelName].associate(db);
	}
});

db.sequelize = sequelize;
db.Sequelize = Sequelize;

module.exports = db;

Express Routes (index.js)

const express = require('express');
