node-dir-load

A tool to load all files in a directory.

Requirements

Node version is above 4.00, which supports ES6.

For now, just support .js and .json files. Others extension files WILL BE IGNORED!!!

Features

• load all files in the folder
• filter the files to load
• exclude the subdirectory to load
• lazy require to avoid some error of circular dependency
• relative directory to load

Get Started

Install with npm:

npm install node-dir-load

Load files from a specific directory into an object.

const load = require('node-dir-load');

const models = load({
  dirname: '../model'
});
console.log(models);
/*
=> 
{ 
  blog: { blog: { getBlogList: [Function] } },
  comment: { getCommentList: [Function] },
}
*/

options

• dirname
• recursive
• excludeDirs
• filter

dirname

The src directory to load files.Both absolute or relative path are supported! Default is current directory.

recursive

For true, to load subdirectories. Default is true.

excludeDirs

A regular expression to exclude directories to load. It only works when recursive is true. Default exclude hidden files, which begins with '.' .

const models = load({
  dirname: '../model',
  excludeDirs: /^\.(git|svn)$/,
});

filter

A regular expression to filter files to load.Default is .js and .json files.

// just load files begin with user.
const models = load({
  dirname: '../model',
  filter: /^user.+\.js$/,
});

Inspire

Inspire much from node-require-all.
