Nested modules with same name, AKA namespacing

[colthreepv]

Hello, I'm trying to convert myself to using simple-ioc, from jaredhanson/electrolyte, a functionality that seems simple but quite powerful is natural namespacing via strings.

Example follows:

module.exports = exports = function (listBlogposts) {
  // clever controller logic
  return {};
};
exports['@require'] = ['api/list-blogposts'];

In case I also have a controller for the same operation, but returns a page (instead of an API), i can do this:

module.exports = exports = function (listBlogposts) {
  // clever controller logic
  return {};
};
exports['@require'] = ['controller/list-blogposts'];

// or even

module.exports = exports = function (apiList, ctrlList) {
  // clever controller logic
  return {};
};
exports['@require'] = ['api/list-blogposts', 'controller/list-blogposts'];

So I can inject different modules with the same name, or same modules with different names, a lot of flexibility there.

Seems with simple-ioc all modules should have different names, like apiListBlogposts and controllerListBlogposts in the above example.

This leads to verbosity that in a medium-sized project is not always helpful.

Am I missing something?

I'll look in to your suggestion, a bit swamped at the moment, but it doesn't sound that bad :)

One question though, how would the "different modules with the same name" work when the container identifies modules by names, maybe I misunderstand you?
