base-env

Base plugin, creates a normalized environment object from a function, filepath or instance of base.

Install

Install with npm:

$ npm install --save base-env

Usage

var Base = require('base');
var env = require('base-env');
var base = new Base();
base.use(env());

API

createEnv

Create an env object with the given name, function, filepath or app instance, and options. See the Env API docs below.

Params

• name {String}
• val {Object|Function|String}
• options {Object}
• returns {Object}

Example

var base = require('base');
var env = require('base-env');
var app = new Base();
app.use(env());

var env = app.createEnv('foo', function() {});

Env

Create an instance of Env with the given name, fn, app instance, and options. The Env class is used by base-generators to handle some of the heavy lifting for resolving generators.

Params

• name {String}
• fn {Function|Object|String}: Function to be lazily invoked, instance, or filepath that resolves to one of the other types when required.
• app {Object}: Base instance to use for invocation context.
• options {Object}

Example

var env = new Env('foo', function(app) {
  // do stuff to app
});

.isMatch

Returns true if the given str matches any of the following properties, in order:

• env.key
• env.name
• env.alias
• env.dirname
• env.path
• env.basename

Params

• str {String}: The string to match
• returns {Boolean}: Retuns true if a match is made.

Example

var env = new Env('foo', fucntion(){});
console.log(env.isMatch('bar')) //=> false
console.log(env.isMatch('foo')) //=> true

.invoke

Invoke env.fn with the given context and options.

Params

• context {Object}: The application instance to use for invoking env.fn
• opptions {Object}
• returns {Object}

Example

var app = new Base();
env.fn(app, {doStuff: true});

.isDefault

Getter that is set to true when the env being loaded is in the user's working directory.

• returns {Boolean}

Example

var env = new Env('generator.js', generatorFn, {cwd: process.cwd()});
console.log(env.isDefault);
//=> true

.namespace

Getter for resolving the namespace of an env. A namespace is created by joining the namespace from a parent instance (if exists) to env.alias (e.g. parent.namespace + '.' + env.alias).

var env = new Env('foo', function() {});

* `returns` **{String}**
