reboot-js

reboot-js is an express plugin to create quick applications hosted out of an "apps" directory without wiring up each individual route.

Eg. Create a default server.js file in your node app and paste in the code below.

var rebootjs = require('reboot-js');
rebootjs.go();

Next run node server.js from the command line.

Browse to http://localhost:3001/test and voila! Your first app has been created.

But wait, there's more!

Generic Routes

If you want to create a new route to '/test/test2', just create a test2.handlebars file in the 'apps/test/views' directory and reboot-js will wire up all the rest for you.

Automatic Loading of Controllers

Want to create a controller for custom routes with logic inside? Reboot loads these easily.

  1. Create a controller in '/apps/test/code/testController.js'
  2. Create a new view file '/apps/test/views/hello.handlebars' with content <h1>Hello {{ message }}</h1>
  3. Paste in the code below to the 'testController.js' file and reboot-js will handle the rest
var testController = function(app) {

    app.get('/test/hello', function(req, res) {
        var viewParams = {
            layout : __dirname + '/../views/layouts/layout',
            viewFile : __dirname + '/../views/hello',
            message : 'NPM World'
        };

        res.render(viewParams.viewFile, viewParams);
    });
}
module.exports = testController;

Test this out

Browse to http://localhost:3001/test/hello and snap dog! You have just run an express route that links to a custom layout file, customer view file and imported a variable that displays when called in the hello.handlebars file

Note - The app variable in the function(app) is the express object, giving you access to use express in controllers.

Using your own reboot-js config

If you want to use your own reboot config, try the below.

var rebootjs = require('reboot-js');

var rebootConfig = {
  "port" : 3001,
  "env" : "development",
  "reboot-apps-directory" : "apps",
  "reboot-www-directory" : "apps/www",
  "default-layout" : "layout",
  "default-viewfile" : "index",
  "partials-directory" : "views/partials/",
  "layouts-directory" : "views/layouts/"
};

rebootjs.go(rebootConfig);
