Noder for Node.JS developper
IoC for Javascript & Node.js

Noder

new Noder()

Noder constructor.

The Noder instance is created when the first usage of require('noder.io'), then the same object (reference) is returned by require('noder.io') in the next usages.

Example 
// file: a.js
var noder = require('noder.io');
// true
console.log(typeof noder === 'object');
// true
console.log(noder instanceof noder.Noder);
noder.$di.set('hello', '-> Hello from a.js file.');
// file: b.js
var noder = require('noder.io');
// -> Hello from a.js file.
console.log(noder.$di.get('hello'));

use(noderPlugin, arguments)

Use a noder plugin. A plugin is initialized by the method __noder().

See also plugins in the guide.

Parameters
Name Type Argument Description
noderPlugin
string
object
function

A noder plugin. If noderPlugin is:

  • string: the plugin is loaded with require and called by passing the current instance of noder like

    require(noderPlugin).__noder(noder [, optional argument, ...]);

  • object or function: the method __noder() is called by passing the current instance of noder like

    noderPlugin.__noder(noder [, optional argument, ...]);
arguments
mixed
 optional  repeatable 

Zero, one or several arguments passed to plugin.
Throws
Type Description
TypeError

If the plugin has not the method __noder().
Returns
Type Description
Noder

The current Noder instance.
Example 
// example-plugin.js *
module.exports.__noder = examplePlugin(noder, arg1, arg2) {
 noder.$di.set('foo', arg1 + ' and ' + arg2);
 return noder;
};
// app.js
var noder = require('noder.io').createNoder();
var examplePlugin = require('./example-plugin');
noder.use(examplePlugin, 'any value 1', 'any value 2');
// displays: 'any value 1 and any value 2'
console.log(noder.$di.get('foo'));

$invoke(deps, fn)

Shortcut of noder.$di.invoke().

Call a function with dependencies injection.

Unlike noder.$invoke(), the returned value of each dependency is passed to fn.

Parameters
Name Type Argument Description
deps
string
array
function

See Collection.invoke().
fn
function
 optional 

See Collection.invoke().
Returns
Type Description
mixed

The result of fn.

$inject(deps, fn)

Shortcut of noder.$di.inject().

Call a function with dependencies injection.

Unlike noder.$invoke(), the raw value of each dependency is passed to fn.

Parameters

array
function

fn
function
 optional 

See Collection.inject().
Returns
Type Description
mixed

$provider(key, deps, fn)

Shortcut of noder.$di.provider().

Create a provider that supports dependencies injection. When the item key is called, it calls the function fn by passing dependencies deps.

This method defines a function that returns the result of noder.$di.inject(deps, fn).

Parameters

The key (provider identifier).
deps

$require(property, required, obj)

  • The required item is only loaded the first time (singleton).
obj
object
 optional 

The object where the property is created. If is not provided, it's the current instance of Noder.
Returns
Type Description
Noder

The current Noder instance.
