Full example of an app using a custom REPL

gistfile1.js

'use strict';
var repl                = require('repl'),
    _                   = require('lodash'),
    inflection          = require('inflection'),
    history             = require('repl.history'),
    requireDirectory    = require('require-directory'),
    pkg                 = require('../package.json');


var app = require('../');

function modelCheck(path){
    if(/plugins/.test(path) || /schemas/.test(path) || /enumerations/.test(path))
        return false;
    return true;
}

var models = requireDirectory(module, './app/models', modelCheck);
// brute force. :P
delete models.plugins;
delete models.schemas;
delete models.enumerations;

models = _.transform(models, function(res, val, key){ res[inflection.camelize(key)] = val; });

var r = repl.start({
    prompt: pkg.name + ' >',
    input : process.stdin,
    output: process.stdout
});

history(r, process.env.HOME+'/.node_history');

r.context.app = app;
//for now
r.context.models = models;

r.on('exit', process.exit);
