This module is a tiny tool just for scan some route file in a directory, you can use it to load masses of route files fastly and conveniently.

Quick Start

First of all, you need install route-scanner to your project:

npm i route-scanner --save

then, import the module and initialize it in your app.js just like below:

const routeScanner = require('route-scanner');
......

routeScanner(app,{
    debug:false,
    framework:'express',    // express or koa2
    routerPath: path.join(__dirname, 'routes'),
    prefix:'std',   //  modifier
    replacePaths:[{
        from:'/index',
        to:'/'
    }],
    extraMaps:[{
        rootPath:path.join(__dirname, '/core/base-routes'),
        fileMaps:[{
            url:'/admin',
            file:'admin.js'
        }]
    }]
});
......
// other express codes to use middleware
module.exports=app;

after that, you can create any router file in directory /routes/, and don't write use sentence in app.js.

Configuration

debug

You can set debug:true to open scan logs print.

{
    debug:true
}

framework

You can set express or koa2 to specify the framework, if empty , express is default.

{
    framework:'express'
}

routerPath

Specify the root for those route files. It's an absolutly path, so you can input like this:

{
    routerPath: path.join(__dirname, 'routes'),
}

prefix

Specify the prefix of the url, if you fill a string, then your root url turned to http://localhost:3000/string, and also, the empty value is possible.

{
    prefix:'yourProjectName'  // url is http://localhost:3000/yourProjectName
}
// or 
{
    prefix:''     // url is http://localhost:3000
}

replacePaths

If you want to change a file name to an other url, you can use this option:

{
    replacePaths:[{
        from:'/index',
        to:'/mgr/index'
    }],
    // enter http://localhost:3000/mgr/index will directed to index.js
}

then, the route file /routes/index.js will be mapped to /mgr/index, so the full url is http://localhost:3000/mgr/index, when you enter this url , it will be directed to index.js

extraMaps

Specify another path to load other route files, you can use it like below:

{
    extraMaps:[{
        rootPath:path.join(__dirname, '/another-routes-path'),
        fileMaps:[{
            url:'/admin',
            file:'admin.js'
        },{
            url:'/service',
            file:'/subdir/service.js'
        }]
    }]
}

Just support a way to mapping file and url, you can use it easily
