Plugins - Noder.io

There are many ways to add features in Noder.io.

Monkey patching like noder.myFeature = myFeature
Dependency injection
Plugin

Noder.io provides a plugins system to make a package works easily as a plugin for Noder.io and also as a standalone module or library.

The creation of a Noder.io plugin can be useful to re-use code easily across multiple projects.

Example

/**
 * Initialization for use as a standalone module.
 * @return {Noder} New `Noder` instance
 */
module.exports = function blog() {

  var noder = require('noder.io');

  // also you can create a new instance directly:
  // var noder = new noder.Noder();

  return module.exports.__noder(noder.createNoder());
};

/**
 * Init `blog` plugin.
 * @param  {Noder} noder  `Noder` instance
 * @return {Noder}        Current `Noder` instance
 */
module.exports.__noder = function blogPlugin(noder) {

  // create config object only if not exists
  noder.$di.addOnce('config', {}, true);

  // sub-modules of blogPlugin
  // that add features to the instance of Noder
  noder.use(require('./api/article'));
  noder.use(require('./api/comment'));
  noder.use(require('./api/admin'));

  // Always return the instance of Noder to allow chaining
  return noder;
};
