Configuration

To use nequire you must call the configure method which expect a map of namespaces.

map

• Type: Object
• Default: An empty Object

The map contains the namespaces which will be made available. A key of the object is a namespace and the value is the associated path where the modules are located.

Usage examples

This is a simple webserver example which use nequire.

index.js

// load nequire
var nequire = require('nequire'),
    http = require('http');

// configure the namespaces
nequire.configure({
        'model': __dirname + '/models',
        'route': __dirname + '/routes'
    });
// make nequire global available
nequire.globalize();

// use nequire to load the routes
var users = nequire('route', 'user');
var status404 = nequire('route', 'status-404');

// create server
var server = http.createServer(function (req, res) {
        if (req.url.indexOf('/users') === 0) {
            users(req, res);
        } else {
            status404(req, res);
        }
    });
// start server
server.listen(3000);

user.js

// use nequire to load the user model
var User = nequire('model', 'user');

// exports route handler
module.exports = function (req, res) {
    User.find(function (err, users) {
        // set content type
        res.setHeader('Content-Type', 'application/json');

        if (err) {
            res.end(err);
        } else {
            res.end(JSON.stringify(users));
        }
    });
