needmanager

Needmanager's maintenance is currently halted. We will monitor issues and pull requests, but there won't be any active development until further notice.

needmanager is a session-manager for needjs. It can handle multiple systems of needjs who share the same logic.

First install needmanager:

$ npm install --save needmanager

Then in your project, require it.

var needmanager = require('needmanager');
var sys = new needmanager();
var Need = sys.Need;

Now you can register your needs just like you do in needjs:

sys.register(new Need({
    name: 'need',
    post: function(data){
    this.done();
    }
}));

Now for other functions, such as forget, trigger, etc you have to add an additional argument, session id or sid for short:

sys.trigger(0, 'main');
sys.trigger('user one', 'main');

Note that sid could be of anytype, although it's suggested to use either a Number or a String.

For more examples, checkout the examples folder.

Using different stores

The default instance of needmanager uses MemoryManager to manage it's instances. needmanager's store is compatible with expressjs' session's stores. To see a full list please look here.

To change the store you need to pass store in the configs.

var YourStore = require('YourStore');
var sys = new needmanager({
    store: new YourStore();
})

Using different needjs engine:

You can use diferent needjs engines. To do so pass needjs in the configs.

var CustomneedJS = require('CustomneedJS');
var sys = new needmanager({
    needjs: CustomneedJS
})
