About

An AsteroidModule is an abstract class that provides a base for all asteroid modules. Its constructor takes an options argument provided by a config.json. It is also supplied with dependencies it lists on its constructor based on information in the config.json file.

Example

See resource for an example asteroid module.

AsteroidModule.dependencies

An asteroid module may define dependencies on other modules that can be configured in config.json. Eg. the collection module defines a model dependency.

Collection.dependencies = {
  model: 'model'
}

A configuration then must define:

{
  "dependencies": {
    "model": "some-model-module"
  }
}

Where some-model-module is an existing model instance.
