Expose delimiter to commander? about vantage

[dthree]

Good idea. I'm currently working on a refactor (authentication fork), and I'll throw the delimiter feature into that. Out of town for about a week, but should be able to jump on this after that.

Could you please amplify on what you mean by exposing related system variables? One of the refactors of this fork is that the this in a Command action exposes a Session object which custom functions, so I should be able to tack on additional data to it pretty cleanly. Do you mean environmental variables? Please expand on that.

@dthree I am currently working on a user/group(linux like) module for vantage(including login stuff). In the process, I found it would be useful to get hands on delimiter. For the rest of it, I haven't come up with other stuff yet.

I know I can get a lot of information through this. But there are some variables (and some I don't know about it yet) are pre-configured (like delimiter), that are not mutable during runtime.

@dthree it would also be great to make vantage command and use command as plugable middlewares. So developers can use it if they need it.

Gotcha. Should be back in a few days. If you are still working on auth middleware before then, try to use what I have so far for basic auth as a model for this:

https://github.com/dthree/vantage/blob/authentication/lib/vantage-auth-basic.js

The auth fork is broken right now, but the general form for an auth middleware function is pretty solid as given in the above.

@joesonw this is now good to go - do you want to try this out?
