Given a directory structure like so: + +* app.js +* routes/ + * index.js + * home.js + * auth/ + * login.js + * logout.js + * register.js + +`routes/index.js` uses `require-directory` to build the hash (rather than doing so manually) like so: + +```javascript +var requireDirectory = require('require-directory'); +module.exports = requireDirectory(module); +``` + +`app.js` references `routes/index.js` like any other module, but it now has a hash/tree of the exports from the `./routes/` directory: + +```javascript +var routes = require('./routes'); + +// snip + +app.get('/', routes.home); +app.get('/register', routes.auth.register); +app.get('/login', routes.auth.login); +app.get('/logout', routes.auth.logout); +``` + +The `routes` variable above is the equivalent of this: + +```javascript +var routes = { + home: require('routes/home.js'), + auth: { + login: require('routes/auth/login.js'), + logout: require('routes/auth/logout.js'), + register: require('routes/auth/register.js') + } +}; +``` + +*Note that `routes.index` will be `undefined` as you would hope.* + +### Specifying Another Directory + +You can specify which directory you want to build a tree of (if it isn't the current directory for whatever reason) by passing it as the second parameter. Not specifying the path (`requireDirectory(module)`) is the equivelant of `requireDirectory(module, __dirname)`: + +```javascript +var requireDirectory = require('require-directory'); +module.exports = requireDirectory(module, './some/subdirectory'); +``` + +For example, in the [example in the Usage section](#usage) we could have avoided creating `routes/index.js` and instead changed the first lines of `app.js` to: + +```javascript +var requireDirectory = require('require-directory'); +var routes = requireDirectory(module, './routes'); +``` + +## Options + +You can pass an options hash to `require-directory` as the 2nd parameter (or 3rd if you're passing the path to another directory as the 2nd parameter already). Here are the available options: + +### Whitelisting + +Whitelisting (either via RegExp or function) allows you to specify that only certain files be loaded. + +```javascript +var requireDirectory = require('require-directory'), + whitelist = /onlyinclude.js$/, + hash = requireDirectory(module, {include: whitelist}); +``` + +```javascript +var requireDirectory = require('require-directory'), + check = function(path){ + if(/onlyinclude.js$/.test(path)){ + return true; // don't include + }else{ + return false; // go ahead and include + } + }, + hash = requireDirectory(module, {include: check}); +``` + +### Blacklisting + +Blacklisting (either via RegExp or function) allows you to specify that all but certain files should be loaded. + +```javascript +var requireDirectory = require('require-directory'), + blacklist = /dontinclude\.js$/, + hash = requireDirectory(module, {exclude: blacklist}); +``` + +```javascript +var requireDirectory = require('require-directory'), + check = function(path){ + if(/dontinclude\.js$/.test(path)){ + return false; // don't include + }else{ + return true; // go ahead and include + } + }, + hash = requireDirectory(module, {exclude: check}); +``` + +### Visiting Objects As They're Loaded + +`require-directory` takes a function as the `visit` option that will be called for each module that is added to module.exports. + +```javascript +var requireDirectory = require('require-directory'), + visitor = function(obj) { + console.log(obj); // will be called for every module that is loaded + }, + hash = requireDirectory(module, {visit: visitor}); +``` + +The visitor can also transform the objects by returning a value: + +```javascript +var requireDirectory = require('require-directory'), + visitor = function(obj) { + return obj(new Date()); + }, + hash = requireDirectory(module, {visit: visitor}); +``` + +### Renaming Keys + +```javascript +var requireDirectory = require('require-directory'), + renamer = function(name) { + return name.toUpperCase(); + }, + hash = requireDirectory(module, {rename: renamer}); +``` + +### No Recursion + +```javascript +var requireDirectory = require('require-directory'), + hash = requireDirectory(module, {recurse: false}); +``` + +## Run Unit Tests + +```bash +$ npm run lint +$ npm test +``` + +## License + +[MIT License](http://www.opensource.org/licenses/mit-license.php) + +## Author + +[Troy Goode](https://github.com/TroyGoode) ([troygoode@gmail.com](mailto:troygoode@gmail.com)) + |
