Augments require() with support for multiple file formats.
Supported file formats
... which return a JSON representation:
... which return a Javascript module:
- coffeescript (.coffeescript, .coffee)
- six
- clojurescript (.cljs) - not bundled
- dart - not bundled
- typescript (.ts) - not bundled
... work in progress:
- dynamic libraries
- ruby
- python
Behind the scenes, this module adds handlers to require.extensions.
