regexp-module-loader

Load multiple node modules at once using regular expressions

Install

$ npm install regexp-module-loader

Usage

regexp - string, RegExp, Array(string|RegExp)
packageJson - object, string
options - See options below

rml(regexp, packageJson, [options])

regexp-module-loader will load modules that macth the provied regexp and are defined in your package.json file as a dependency.

const rml = require('regexp-module-loader')

const pkg = require('./package.json')
const modules = rml('some-module-', pkg)

Or you can specify the path to your package.json, like this:

const modules = rml('some-module-', './path/to/package.json')

Options

ignoreDev (default=false)

Ignore devDependencies modules.

const rml = require('regexp-module-loader')

const pkg = require('./package.json')
const modules = rml('some-module-', pkg, { ignoreDev: true })

Example

Given the following package.json as an example:

{
  "name": "my-module",
  "dependencies": {
    "some-module-to-write": "1.0.0",
    "some-module-to-read": "1.0.0",
    "other-module-to-do-stuff": "1.0.0",
  }
}

Let's load all modules that matches "some-module-":

const rml = require('regexp-module-loader')

const pkg = require('./package.json')
const modules = rml('some-module-', pkg)

modules['some-module-to-write']()
modules['some-module-to-read']()
typeof modules['other-module-to-do-stuff'] // 'undefined'

modules will be an object where its properties are the module name and its values the module itself.

In this example, the modules some-module-to-write and some-module-to-read will be loaded into modules. The other module other-module-to-do-stuff will not be loaded since it did not match the provided regexp.
