jarradseers / express-load Goto Github PK

Hi,

Here my tests case, I have developped https://github.com/darul75/express-json-refiner.

Last version on npm is ok but current has the following issue.

On local it works but on Travis it fails systematicaly and make me crazy.

I use mocha for making test, on root of project I use something like

mocha test/test.spec.js

2 directories in test/model and test/access are loaded by your module in this order as in access files I get reference to some model file.

normally content are retrieved in app.model and app.access but I got some suspiscion that namepace build on travis side is something like app.test.model and app.test.access...

could you help me and fork this project to look what is wrong.

https://travis-ci.org/darul75/express-json-refiner

thx,

julien

We have a folder structure where we store test files under src like
app
--test
----app_spec.js
app.js

In this scenario I can use regular expression to match all *.js but not *_spec.js

When I load middlewares, I don't want to call the function.

module.exports = function(options) {
  return function(req, res, next) {

  };
}

ReferenceError: next is not defined
at exports.isAuthenticated (.../node_modules/express-load/examples/mvc/controllers/user.js:3:5)

For my folder structure, I have my models, views, controllers, and routes in a folder called app:
app/controllers/.js
app/models/.js
app/routes/.js
app/views/

express-load loads everything with app. in the name:
app.app.controllers.*
app.app.models.*
app.app.routes.*

Can there be a setting to ignore a specific base dir, for example:
{basedir: 'app'}

would strip app from the beginning so that it would result in:
app.controllers.*
app.models.*
app.routes.*

I know I could just move the controllers/models/routes into the base dir, but I would prefer to organize my project, and reduce the base dir clutter.

Edit: To add - I was previously running my code on node 0.6, and I modified express-load from "fs.existsSync" to "path.existsSync"
I started using node 0.8, and downloaded an unmodified express-load when this problem started to occur.

folder: models/user.js
controllers/user.js

app.js

var express = require('express'), load = require('express-load');
var app = express();

load('models')
  .then('controllers')
  .into(app);

but

models/user.js
module.exports = function(app) {
console.log(app.controllers); // not work?
}

Can not access because it does not exist

Hi all,

I'd like to know, if there is a manner to add a fixed prefix for routes using express load.

For example, today with express Router, I can do the following:

var router = express.Router();
var user = require('./app/services/user');
router.route('/users').get(user.list);
app.use('/api/v1/', router);

So, all my requests path will attend on: /api/v1/users or whatever is the route that I declare on router.route.

Can I do something like it with express-load?

Thanks a lot!

Imagine you have the following directory structure:

app
+++ controller
+++ model
+++ view

Now by using load('app/controller').into(app); I have to type app.app.controller.

It would be nice if we could change the "app object" and simplify the way how to access subfolders. i.e. load('app/controller', {name: 'controller'}).into(app);

Hello everybody

I would like to know how to split the control methods into files. When I do controllers/users/index.js the following happens:

Error: Route.get() requires callback functions but got a [object Object]

controllers/users/index.js

module.exports = (app) => {
  var User = app.models.user
  return {
    index(req, res) {...}
  }
}

Thanks a lot!

in development i will change express scripts very frequently，but express-load can not auto reload the script when it's already been loaded. so why not support auto reload scripts?
by the way, the cwd is very useful for me

Hello, i have the following error

TypeError: Arguments to path.join must be strings
      at Object.posix.join (path.js:467:13)
      at Context.<anonymous> (test/rank/rankServiceTest.js:19:3)

with the following code

var Q = require('q');
var async = require('async');
var expect = require('expect.js');
var load = require('express-load');
var app = require('../../app.js');
var mongoose = require('mongoose');
var basicMongoDbMock = require('../mockDb/basicMongoDbMock');

describe('Suite 01', function () {

    before(function (done) {
        this.timeout(8000);

        load('config') //  at Context.<anonymous> (test/rank/rankServiceTest.js:19:3)
            .then('enums')
            .then('models/UniqueId.js')
            .then('models')
            .then('modules/rank')
            .into(app, function () {
            });
    });

    beforeEach(function (done) {
        mongoose.connect('mongodb://localhost:27017/squid_test');

        basicMongoDbMock
            .seed(Mission, Participation, User, Image)
            .then(function () {
                done();
            });
    });

    afterEach(function (done) {
        basicMongoDbMock
            .unseed(Mission, Participation, User, Image)
            .then(function () {
                mongoose.disconnect(function () {
                    done();
                });
            });
    });

    it('Should...', function (done) {

    });

});

This is the start line of the exception

        load('config') //  at Context.<anonymous> (test/rank/rankServiceTest.js:19:3)

Have any idea of the cause for the error?

i have an app directory looks like

app/
├── controllers
│   ├── index.js
│   └── users.js
├── errors.js
├── models
│   └── user.js
└── other_things

in the server.js i have the following code using express-load

load('errors', {cwd: 'app'})
  .then('models')
  .then('controllers')
  .into(app);

but console.log(app.errors); is undefined
and console.log(app); show the following among many other unrelated output
'': { errors: { not_found: [Function] } } }

how do i convert that to be loaded like
'errors':{ not_found: [Function] } }

the errors.js is defined as following

exports.not_found = function(err){
  //... yada yada...
}

Hi,

Do you think it will be possible to load js files which contains '-' in names.

'myfile-name.js' for instance ?

and to retrieve it then by app.controler['myfile-name']

I have a folder/file structure like this:

controller/
  app/
    token.js
    token/
      access.js
      authorization.js
      refresh.js

It would be nice to be able to extend off of app allowing to have multiple levels. I can't seem to get it working and didn't see anything in the documentation explaining this.

Example:

controller.app.token();
controller.app.token.access(); // This doesn't work.

Is?

Hi,

I'm using your library:

load('config')
.then('mongoose')
.then('models')
.then('controllers')
.then('routes')
.into('app');

And receiving an error:
Object .js,.node,.json,.coffee,.sjs has no method 'test'

Windows 7, Node v0.10.25

Hi @jarradseers

Just to letting you know that things get ugly (specially on post/delete/put requests) when you load your routes before the app.use(express.bodyParser()); Express can't parse the request properly when you load your routes before it. If you make a simple POST to a route which had been declared before bodyParser the req.params is completely empty.

It looks more like a express problem then a express-load problem but.... maybe you could do something under the hood that loads our routes on the right "timing".

Hi @jarradseers,
What do you think about loading cwd option from all the items? To me, it seems more intuitive.

load('models', {cwd: 'app'})
  .then('controllers', {cwd: 'app'})
  .then('routes', {cwd: 'config'})
  .into(app)

Do you think it makes sense?

Today load() sets the cwd param to all modules.

version 1.1.8 is not available in npm

Hi, Is there a way to only load modules, avoiding the load of sub-modules?

For example, I have a folder modules, with a lot of scripts to load, but there is only one module which need to load your own sub-modules using require, and I'd like to avoid the load of theses submodules.
