export a railwaysjs as a module

[revington]

Hi there,

I want to export a website builded with railwaysjs as a module.

index.js-----
var  app, hbs = require('hbs'),
    helpers = require('./app/helpers/Global_helper');
    app = module.exports = require('railway');
    helpers(app,hbs);
----

I want to load it with connect as a vhost

var connect = require('connect'),
    mywebsite= require('mywebsite'),
    app = connect(connect.logger());
app.use(connect.vhost('mywebsite.com', mywebsite));

app.listen(3000, function () {
    console.log(' listening');
});

log---
TypeError: Cannot read property 'root' of undefined

What I'm doing wrong?

Sorry, I can not post more code. Company rules.

Hi man, all you are doing is fine. Railway is not fine. A week ago i've started branch where this issue fixed and you can export/import railway apps as modules, bundle them together, etc. It makes existing API not compatible with new, because it requires eliminating all global variables we're using now. That issue was from the beginning, and finally i've make hard decision to change this API with no backward compatibility in next major release. Release preview of railway will be available by the end of this week (or maybe next).
