# require-all An easy way to require all files within a directory. ## Usage ```js var controllers = require('require-all')({ dirname : __dirname + '/controllers', filter : /(.+Controller)\.js$/, excludeDirs : /^\.(git|svn)$/ }); // controllers now is an object with references to all modules matching the filter // for example: // { HomeController: function HomeController() {...}, ...} ``` ## Advanced usage If your objective is to simply require all .js and .json files in a directory you can just pass a string to require-all: ``` js var libs = require('require-all')(__dirname + '/lib'); ``` ## Constructed object usage If your directory contains files that all export constructors, you can require them all and automatically construct the objects using `resolve`: ```js var controllers = require('require-all')({ dirname : __dirname + '/controllers', filter : /(.+Controller)\.js$/, excludeDirs : /^\.(git|svn)$/, resolve : function (Controller) { return new Controller(); } }); ```
