Simple module manager for Node.js

Module-Manager is an easy tool for managing your modules. It includes loading multiple modules in a directory, keeping track of your loaded/unloaded modules, module load/unload/reload history and reloading your modules (on the fly hotfixing).

Requiring it

var MM = require('module-manager')

Methods

Get all modules (Includes modules loaded once)

var modules = MM.getAllModules();

Get all loaded modules

var modules = MM.getLoadedModules();

Get all unloaded modules

var modules = MM.getUnloadedModules();

Get loaded module by ID (Usually the same as the full path)

var module = MM.getModuleById('C:/node/node_modules/module-manager/index.js');

Get loaded module by filename

var module = MM.getModuleByFilename('mymodule.js');

Get loaded modules from directory

var modules = MM.getModulesInDirectory('node_modules');

Get loaded module by path

var module = MM.getModuleByPath('C:/node/node_modules/module-manager/index.js');

Load module by name (Native or node_modules module)

var module = MM.loadModuleByName('http');

Load module by path

var module = MM.loadModuleByPath('C:/node/node_modules/module-manager/index.js');

Load modules by paths

var modules = MM.loadModulesByPaths([ './node_modules/module-manager/index.js', 'http' ]);

Load modules from directory

var modules = MM.loadModulesInDirectory('./node_modules');

Unload module

var module = MM.loadModuleByName('http');
MM.unloadModule(module);

Unload multiple modules

var modules = MM.loadModulesInDirectory('./node_modules');
MM.unloadModules(modules);

Unload module by filename

MM.unloadModuleByFilename('mymodule.js');

Unload module by path

MM.unloadModuleByPath('C:/node/node_modules/module-manager/index.js');

Unload module by ID

MM.unloadModuleById('C:/node/node_modules/module-manager/index.js');

Reload module

var module = MM.loadModuleByName('http');
module = MM.reloadModule(module);

Reload module by filename

var module = MM.reloadModuleByFilename('mymodule.js');

Reload module by path

var module = MM.reloadModuleByPath('C:/node/node_modules/module-manager/index.js');

Reload modules in directory

var modules = MM.reloadModulesInDirectory('./node_modules');

Get all loading/unloading/reloading history

var history = MM.getHistory();

Get history for module

var module = MM.loadModuleByName('http');
var history = MM.getModuleHistory(module);

Get history for module by ID

var history = MM.getModuleHistoryById('C:/node/node_modules/module-manager/index.js');

~~Get history for module by filename~~

var history = MM.getModuleHistoryByFilename('mymodule.js');

~~Get history for modules in directory~~

var history = MM.getModuleHistoryInDirectory('./node_modules');
