0.3.1 • Public • Published

velise

noun: A small traveling bag or suitcase

Velise provides easy access to your project's config files, libs, schemas, etc... no more require ( "../......../../myConf.json" )

Getting Started

(soon) Install the module with: npm install velise

var velise = require( "velise" )
    , dbConf = velise( "db" );
 
// Do something with your db config

Documentation

Velise is essentially a hash of locations you would like to require from. It is tailored for granting convenient access to your config files and other such resources that for whatever reason don't live in your node_modules folder.

By default velise assumes you have a conf folder next to your node_modules folder and will fetch resources from there.

var velise = require( "velise" )
    , dbConf = velise( "db" ); // fetches ./conf/db.json relative to app root
 
// Do something with your db config

You can register multiple resource locations using velise.mixin

/* From app root */
var velise = require( "velise" );
velise.mixin({
    "models": __dirname + "/models"
});
 
/* Then from any other file... */
 
// fetches ./models/User.js relative to app root
var velise = require( "velise" )
    , User = velise( "modles:User" );
 
// Do something with your user schema

Note that the default notation is just a convenience for leaving off the resource hash key, observe...

var velise = require( "velise" );
 
// Assuming you have a file db.json file at ./conf/db.json of course
console.log(
    velise( "db" ) === velise( "conf:db" )
);

You can even change the default resource location if you want

var velise = require( "velise" )
    , awesomeLib;
 
velise
    .mixin({"lib": __dirname + "/lib"})
    .setDefault( "lib" );
 
awesomeLib = velise( "awesome" );
