ong

Oh no! Globals!

Installation

npm i ong --save

Example

require('ong').init().register({
	db: require('mydb')({ host: 'thishost '}),
	queue: require('myqueue')({ host: 'thathost' })
});

Promise.all([
	$.db.query('select * from everything'),
	$.queue.publish('universe', _.camelCase('my message'))
]).return(0).then(process.exit);

As you see from this example, Promise (bluebird), _ (lodash), and $ (registered shortcuts) are globals registered by ong and can be used anywhere within a process.

API

init([overwrite])

Registers 3 global variables (yes, global, because they are very intensively used): Promise (bluebird), _ (lodash), $ (shortcuts object). Warning! It will throw error if such globals already exist!

register(name, value, [overwrite]) or registerGlobal(nameValueObject, [overwrite])

Puts name property to global $ with value. Also can be called with 1 argument of type object, each property-value pair of it will be treated as name-value pair. There is also additional last argument which specifies whether previous value can be overwritten if exists (by default ong will throw if such name is already registered).
