jpex-node

Default factories for Jpex in a node environment

Installation

npm install jpex-node --save

Usage

const Jpex = require('jpex');
const jpexNode = require('jpex-node');
Jpex.use(jpexNode);

// We now have access to more goodies
const $fs = Jpex.$resolve('$fs');

Jpex.register.node_module('path');

API

jpex-node automatically includes all factories from the jpex-defaults plugin, plus a few extras:

$fs

$fs is a wrapper around Node's File System module (fs).
Any method that would normally take a callback has been converted into a promise using the $promise factory.

var MyClass = jpex.extend(function($fs){
  $fs.readFile('files/file', 'utf8')
    .then(function(data){})
    .catch(function(err){});
});

$tick

$tick(callback) $tick calls the callback function on the next available event loop. This is the equivalent of process.nextTick.

node_module

Class.register.node_module(name)
This is just a short cut for injecting a node module. Normally Jpex's resolver looks through all inherited factories, decorators, named parameters, etc. until it finally decides to look in the node_modules folder. Registering a node_module tells Jpex where to look straight away.

Class.register.node_module('path');
var path = Class.$resolve('path');
