express-mount-apps

express-mount-apps

A tiny utility for mounting multiple express apps to a single main app.

Install:

npm install express-mount-apps

Test:

make test

How:

This functionality is already built into express:

var express = require('express'),
    app = express(),
    blog = require('blog');

app.use('/blog', blog);

However, I want to define my modules in a config file:

{
    apps: [
        {
            // name of the module to `require`
            name: 'blog',

            // route prefix for this module
            path: '/blog'
        },
        {
            name: 'auth',
            path: '/login'
        }
    ]
}

And in my express API:

var mount = require('express-mount-apps'),
    config = require('config');

mount(config.apps, function (err) {
    if (err) {
        console.log(err);
        process.exit(1);
    }
});
