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

{
  "name": "example",
  "version": "0.0.1",
  "description": "POC",
  "main": "index",
  "scripts": {
    "test": "echo \"Error: no test specified\" && exit 1",
    "start": "node node_modules/rejoice/bin/rejoice -c config/manifest.json"
  },
  "author": "Your Name <you@wherever.com>",
  "license": "ISC",
  "dependencies": {
    "handlebars": "^2.0.0",
    "rejoice": "^2.0.0",
    "visionary": "^2.0.0",
    "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)

starting the server

npm start

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