import-all-from

A util helps importing all utils from given directory path

Installation

$ npm install import-all-from --save

Usage

const importAllFrom = require('import-all-from')
 
// return an array containing all modules right under given directory
const utils = importAllFrom('/system/absolute/path/to/dest/dir')
 
utils.forEach(() => {
  // do something ...
})
 
// or
 
for (const util of utils) {
  // do something ...
}
 

NOTE: Directory path should be an absolute path from system root. For node.js, you can use ___dirname to get absolute path of the directory where current file is located in.

// assume __dirname here refers to '/system/absolute/path/to'
const modules = importAllFrom(__dirname + '/dest/dir')

Options

importAllFrom(path, {
  file: {Boolean}, // false for not importing file modules [default: true]
  dir: {Boolean}, // false for not importing directory modules [default: true]
  regexp: {RegExp} // importing file/directory modules whose name matching regexp [default: undefined]
})

Examples

(1) Writing Tests

This util makes an easy way to manage structure of test files, you can thus handle each function test with separate file.

describe('unit tests', () => {
  // import all tests under specific directory
  importAllFrom(__dirname + '/unit-tests')
})
 
/* unit-tests/unit-test1.js */
describe('unit-test1', ...)
 
/* unit-tests/unit-test2.js */
describe('unit-test2', ...)
 
// ...

(2) Handlers / Checkers

Perhaps you might have some state handlers / checkers which have same return data format, for better management, you can separate each condition with different modules with this util.

let state
 
const checkers = importAllFrom(__dirname + '/checkers')
 
for (const checker of checkers) {
  state = checker(...arg)
 
  if (state) { // or satisfied specific condition
    // do something ...
  }
}
