nodejs-module-require is a custom module loader
returns a {function} that is loading classes and storing them in a object, also giving some extra functionalities
var mrequire = require("module-require");
var express = mrequire("express");
// loading module
mrequire("myChoosedModuleName1", "http://www......./file.js");
// use custom module
var m1 = mrequire("myChoosedModuleName");
also can be used relative source "./file.js"
// link "express" server to "server-module"
mrequire("server-module", "express");
// Using renamed module
var server = mrequire("server-module");
// prepare a express server instance and store it as mrequire("express-server");
mrequire("express-server", function (mrequire, library) {
// library is "express-server"
var express = require('express');
var cookieParser = require('cookie-parser');
var app = express();
app.use(cookieParser());
app.get('/', function(req, res) {
console.log("Cookies: ", req.cookies)
});
return app;
});
// using our server
mrequire("express-server").get('/', function(req, res) {
console.log("Cookies: ", req.cookies);
});
mrequire("express-server").listen(8080);
// prepare a express server instance and store it as mrequire("express-server");
mrequire("express-server-builder", function (mrequire, library) {
return function () {
// library is "express-server"
var express = require('express');
var cookieParser = require('cookie-parser');
var app = express();
app.use(cookieParser());
app.get('/', function(req, res) {
console.log("Cookies: ", req.cookies)
});
return app;
}
});
// build server-1 instance using our server builder
mrequire("server-1", function (mrequire) {
mrequire("express-server-builder")();
});
// build server-2 instance using our server builder
mrequire("server-2", function (mrequire) {
mrequire("express-server-builder")();
});
// user server 1
mrequire("server-1").get('/', function(req, res) {
console.log(" Server 1 » Cookies: ", req.cookies);
});
mrequire("server-1").listen(8080);
// user server 2
mrequire("server-2").get('/', function(req, res) {
console.log(" Server 2 » Cookies: ", req.cookies);
});
mrequire("server-2").listen(8181);
