Require Children

Easily and safely require a directory as an object whose keys are its children's filenames (without their extensions), and whose values are its children as modules.

Example

To require a directory resources/ with children posts.js, comments.js, and users.js:

var resources = requireChildren('./resources', module);

/**
 * Now all modules contained in ./resources/ are in the object:
 *
 * resources = {
 *   comments: [object Object],
 *   posts: [object Object],
 *   users: [object Object]
 * } 
 */

Installation

npm install require-children

Usage

requireChildren(directory, destinationModule);

requireChildren always returns a children object. The keys of the children object are the names of the modules that were successfully loaded from directory without their extensions or any spaces.

params

• directory: The directory to require children of.
• destinationModule: The module that is requiring the directory children.
