i want to extend those.

domachine commented 11 years ago

why? i think there's nothing wrong with

var proto = require('model/lib/proto');
...

since require caches the lookup you always receive the same object.

yeah sure, but i think it's much cleaner.

var proto = require('express/lib/application');
var proto = require('express').application;

agree that reaching into the dir structure of the component is bad, since its private.

curious whats the extending use case? shouldn't you just use .use()?

yields commented 11 years ago

hm, mainly overriding .url(), doing that in a plugin will be a PITA imho.

ianstormtaylor commented 10 years ago

shouldnt need to do this, can just edit Model.url and Model.prototype.url directly
