After taking over this project I discovered require-glob.

It is recommended to use the above project. If you find any similar projects let me know and I'll add them.

Installation

Install with npm:

npm install --save node-require-dir

Example

var requiredir = require('node-require-dir');

var path = require('path');

var directory = requiredir(path.join(__dirname, 'directory'), function(name, module) {
  // Ommit json files
  if(path.extname(name) === '.json') return false;

  // Remove extension and append Controller
  return path.basename(name, path.extname(name)) + 'Controller';

  // Recursive
}, true);

console.log(directory);
// { firstController: {...}, otherControllers: { secondController: {...} }}

API

requiredir()

var result = requiredir(directoryName, namePredicate, recursive);

• directoryName: A string containing the name of the directory you want to include.
• namePredicate: (optional: identity) A function that ommits a module if it returns false. It also lets you modify the module name as presented in the example.
• recursive: (optional: false) Whether to recursively recurse the contents of the directory;

note that this function is not polymorphic, if you don't want to use a predicate but want to use recursive you must pass an argument, like null or _.identity.

Testing

From the repo root:

npm install
npm test
