Brand new project, create dirs "lib/modules", "lib/templates", "config"

lib/modules/home/index.js :

exports.register = function (server, options, next) {

  server.route({
    path: '/',
    method: 'GET',
    handler: function (request, reply) {

      reply.view('home', {title: 'Home Page'});

    }
  });

  next();

};

exports.register.attributes = {
  pkg: require('./package.json')
};

lib/modules/home/package.json :

{
  "name": "exampleHome",
  "version": "0.0.1"
}

lib/templates/layout.html :

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
  <title>{{title}}</title>
</head>
<body>
  {{{content}}}
</body>
</html>

lib/templates/home.html :

<p>Home Page!</p>

config/manifest.json :

{
  "connections": [
    {
      "port": 51871,
      "host": "localhost"
    }
  ],
  "plugins": {
    "visionary": {
      "engines": { "html": "handlebars" },
      "path": "./lib/templates",
      "layout": true
    },
    "exampleHome": null
  }
}

initialize npm for project

npm init

install dependencies

npm install --save rejoice handlebars visionary

package.json for project

add "start" to scripts:

  "scripts": {
    "start": "node node_modules/rejoice/bin/rejoice -c config/manifest.json"
  }

add home module to dependencies:

(There will be other dependencies, don't remove them - not listing them here for brevity)

  "dependencies": {
    "exampleHome": "./lib/modules/home"
  }

Note: exampleHome is specifying the local directory that contains the plugin, if you do this you need to npm install each time you make changes to it. This could alternatively be a git repository for true modularization of sections, or an npm published module (private or public NPM, whatever makes sense)

install local home module via npm

npm install

starting the server

npm start

Fire up http://localhost:51871 and see it in action
