Server composer for hapi.js.

Lead Maintainer - Chris Rempel

Interface

Glue exports a single function compose accepting a JSON manifest file specifying the Hapi server options, connections and plugins. Glue primarily works in synergy with Rejoice, but can be integrated directly into any Hapi application loader.

• compose(manifest, [options], callback)
  • manifest - an object having:
    • 'server' - an object containing the options passed to new Server([options])
    • 'connections' - an array of connection options, passed individually in calls to server.connection([options])
    • 'plugins' - an object holding plugin entries to register with server.register(plugins, [options], callback). Each key is the name of the plugin to load and register and the value is the plugin options.
  • options - an object having
    • 'relativeTo' - (optional) a file-system path string that is used to resolve loading modules with require. Used in server.cache and plugins[name]
    • 'preConnections' - (optional) a callback function that is called prior to adding connections to the server. The function signature is function (server) where:
      • server - is the server object returned from new Server(options).
    • 'prePlugins' - (optional) a callback function that is called prior to registering plugins with the server. The function signature is function (server) where:
      • server - is the server object with all connections selected.
  • callback - the callback function with signature function (err, server) where:
    • err - the error response if a failure occurred, otherwise null.
    • server - the server object. Call server.start() to actually start the server.
