Useful links for Yahoo! Mojito

basics.md

• Controller YUI module name should be same as directory (i.e; same name as Mojit)
• addon namespace should match the filename. E.g. ac.foo corresponds to addons/ac/foo.common.js.

Mojito-Middleware.md

Applicable atleast to Yahoo! Mojito v0.5.3-1.

• Middlewares are declared in the application.json.
• The way the middleware works depends on the file name of the middleware.
• If file name starts with mojito- (e.g: mojito-logger.js):
  • The exported function should return a function, that can be called with express's app.use. For example, you can return express.logger() and the framework shall call app.use(express.logger()) using this return value.
  • This approach is suitable to use app.use, since the express's app is not exposed in the Mojito framework.
  • The configuration received by this function is of form: { Y: Y, store: store, logger: { log: Y.log }, context: options.context }
  • Tip: You can use require('mojito/node_modules/express') to use express from Mojito's dependencies, instead of adding a direct dependency on express in your package.json.
• For all other files, it acts like a normal express middleware, which is called for every request with the express's request, response and next parameters, and should call next() to pass control to other middleware.
