Extensions ✎

Most functionality can be added through the Grown container, e.g. api/index.js

module.exports = Grown => {
  return Grown('API', {
    include: [
      Grown.load(`${__dirname}/controllers`),
    ],
  });
};

Grown extensions are object-new definitions, however, any compatible declaration would work.

The load() method will scan and require any modules found within any given folder.

Modules MUST be compatible with the sastre layout for source files, so the files from above should be named ./api/controllers/<ControllerName>/index.js in order to work.

Using extensions

Now, you can register those extensions on your main application, e.g.

// register an extension
Grown.use(require('./api'));

// both calls are equivalent
console.log(Grown.API.Home.name);
console.log(Grown('API.Home.name'));

Built-in extensions are registered the same way:

Grown.use(require('@grown/session'));
Grown.use(require('@grown/router'));
Grown.use(require('@grown/test'));
// etc.
