After all modules have been initialized, apostrophe-site calls the setBridge method on each module object that has one. This method receives an object containing all of the module objects as properties named after the module. For instance:
self.setBridge = function(bridge) {
// We want to invoke methods of the blog module;
// grab a reference to it
self._blog = bridge['apostrophe-blog'];
}
Note that setBridge is not called until after all modules have invoked their initialization callback.
Modules that manage a page type or snippet type can also be accessed via _pages.getManager:
self._pages.getManager('blogPost').getOne(
req, { _id: blogPostId }, {}, function(err, blogPost) { ... }
);
getManager is useful when you know what type of page or snippet you want. It allows developers to substitute a different module that implements the same type.
