Newbie asking design questions for a project

[Hanumant Singh]

Hi

I am new to node js. I am currently trying to work on a project where a node js server can provide n different functionalities.

I envision each of these functionalities as a separate module,for eg music control, task list manager etc.

A command will be received by the server.

This command could be handled by any of the possible n modules/functionalities..

The server has to identify which module can handle it, and dispatch it.

1) Am i correct to implement each of the different unrelated functionalities as separate modules that the server requires

2) Each of the functionalities can support n different commands for eg, music control can support play music, pause music etc.

2) I believe the different supported commands can be accessed through exports attribute of a module, however mapping an incoming command to the correct module is a challenge.

I am not sure if such use cases already have elegant solutions in nodejs.

Off the top of my head I can think of some sort of hash computation (if there is nodejs support for it) on the supported commands of a module for faster access.

Thank you for your help.
