Description

Option to manually import controller class instead of a directory search.

this.mount('/home', HomeController);

I prefer to manually import models, services and controllers without doing a directory search. Models and services can already be imported this way, but I haven't found a way for controllers. Is this possible?

Hi @Ionaru ,

You can do that with the mount options:

@ServerSettings({
  "mount": {
    "/rest/": [
      "./controller/MyController1.js", 
      "./controller/MyController2.js"
    ]
  }
})

See you :)

I'd like to do that without needing the file name, instead something like this:

import { HomeController } from './controllers/home.controller';

@ServerSettings({
    // ...
})
export class Server extends ServerLoader {
    // ...
    public $onMountingMiddlewares(): void {
        // ...
        this.mount('/home', HomeController);
        // ...
    }
}

or through the settings

import { HomeController } from './controllers/home.controller';
import { NESController } from './controllers/nes.controller';

@ServerSettings({
    // ...
    "mount": {
        "/rest/": [
            HomeController, 
            NESController
        ]
    }
})
export class Server extends ServerLoader {
    // ...
}

This would be very useful for me because I am using ts-node for development & debugging and in production I want to use the compiled javascript, this means I need some way of having dynamic file extensions in the code controller.ts vs controller.js, or use the direct imports.
