Best way to implement optional modules for node.js app

问题

I'm looking to create an app with optional modules that I will not know the names of in the application.

For example, imagine outlook, but the calendar/tasklist/mail pieces are optional components, you would npm install outlook-framework then create your app that requires "outlook-framework" but then I would like to import all packages installed that start with "outlook-". So I can npm install outlook-mail and that gives me email support, same for outlook-calendar, or even something I didn't write, maybe outlook-twitter or outlook-rss (or thirdpary-outlook-module)

Is there some existing mechanism for loading modules like this? Or does anyone have any better ideas for loading unknown, optional modules?

Thanks!

I've decided that the packages will need to have a manifest, like "outlook-manifest.json" and to load the modules, I'll list directories in node_modules, find directories with a manifest, and load those.
