Hi,
I've gone through lots of different approaches when it comes down to organising large NodeJS apps and this one is by far the best one I've ever seen (probably just because I think exactly the same way about DI). The only thing I am worried about is the date of the last commit & the number of awaiting PR's to be reviewed / merged. Is the repo still production-ready & up to date or it's been deprecated? Thanks!

Another question (I will try to sort that out tomorrow) is - whether it's possible to include custom plugin-only dependencies in my package.json? Let's say I have 10 modules (each module declares passport strategy & rest links) and I don't want to pollute my root package.json with social media specific libraries like graph-fb or instagram-node.

And - the very last question - is 'register' callback capable of being invoked as async callback? Let's say I have database module and I want to register it only after successful connection with the database. So it means that other modules that consume it will have to wait till the connection is being established.

I can't vouch for if this will be maintained going forward, but from a quick look, it looks like you can call register asyncronously.

1. code - An array of plugins is created in the proper order
2. code - It loops through each plugin recursively passing in a next function that when called, starts the next plugin
3. code your plugin is called. In a different part it sets the setup method to what you exported from your plugin file. Notice it passes in the register function that you call within your plugin
4. code - The last line of that register function tells it to continue and load the next plugin

Hopefully that makes sense, but you can load them async. Which is pretty sweet.
