Introducing file-manifest
This is not really an introduction, as file-manifest has existed for almost two years. File-manifest is a node module I wrote originally with Justin Searls for the Manta platform when we were in the process of migrating it from a monolithic Perl application to a Node.js and Java service-based infrastructure, and then later made enhancements to and published on npm. It is similar to require-dir but does a lot more (such as pattern matching, automatic recursion, and custom map-reducing and file-loading). The goal here is to make you say, “Huh, that sounds interesting. I’ll give it a try,” but even if you stop at “that sounds interesting”, I’ll still be satisfied.
