I need a plug-in system for my app and I'd like for my user to be able to install a plug-in by just doing the standard `npm install foo` where foo is the name of the module. When my app starts I want to find all plugins for my app and "require" them without knowing their names.
I'm thinking that any and all modules with a name matching *_myapp_plugin (I don't know my app's name yet) would be loaded (required). The user of my app would then be able to enable/disable these plugins through the UI. I considered walking the dir tree looking for node_module folders, but then I started thinking about all the complications. Maybe I should steal code from node require. Of course if node allowed wild cards in the require function that would be ideal. I'd be happy to make this plug-in system a module. Node doesn't have enough modules yet. -- Job Board: http://jobs.nodejs.org/ Posting guidelines: https://github.com/joyent/node/wiki/Mailing-List-Posting-Guidelines You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "nodejs" group.
