tzero-classes v2.0.0

About

Autoloads JS files based on file path.

Register namespaces for different modules to merge packages.

Usage

1. Structure

module_root/
	classes/
		Foo.class.js
		foo/
			Bar.class.js
other_module_root/
	other_classes/
		other/
			Other.class.js

2. Register classes in your index.js.

const classes = require('tzero-classes');

classes.register('yournamespace', __dirname + '/classes');

3. You can register more path's to one namespace.

classes.register('yournamespace', __dirname + '/other_classes');

4. Autoload a class in your project.

let foo = new yournamespace.Foo();
let bar = new yournamespace.foo.Bar();
let other = new yournamespace.other.Other();
