Auto load hapi modules

HapiBoot
===
HapiBoot is a small helper library to load modules when you have a large and structured Api.

HapiBoot loads your modules from a given path and registers them as plugins. So you can easily structure your api and
manage dependencies.

Install
==
`npm install hapiboot --save`

Setup
==
Modify your hapi start


    //Load HAPI
    let Hapi = require('hapi');


    //Load HapiBoot
    let Boot = require('hapiboot');

    //Create server
    const server = new Hapi.Server();

    //Instantiate hapiBoot
    let hapiBoot = new Boot(server, require('./config/boot.json'));

    // start hapiBoot
    hapiBoot.boot();

    // Default hapi config and startup
    server.connection({
        host: 'localhost',
        port: process.env.PORT || 3000
    });

    server.on('log', (event, tags) => {
        console.log(event.data);
    });

    // Start the server
    server.start((err) => {
        if (err) throw err;
        server.log(['info', 'debug'],'Server running at: '+server.info.uri);
    });

Config
==
Create the config file `boot.json`


    {
      "api" : {
        "root" : "api/modules", //Define where your modules are located
      },
      "modules":[ //Define which modules should be loaded
          "helloWorldModule"
      ]
    }
