bruco v1.1.1

bruco

Italian for "caterpillar"; a tree walker.

Use this module when you want to find all the packages loaded via require or import in either .js or .jsx(React) files. Native Node package names are ignored, as are packages with names not conforming to current npm naming standards (all lowercase, for example), as are local packages (e.g. require('./config.js')). Useful for doing things like checking whether you are using all the dependencies defined in your package.json file.

Install

npm install bruco

Test

npm test

Usage

let bruco = require('bruco');

Searching a single file

let packages = bruco('/path/to/someFile.js');
// packages now an Array of npm package names, e.g. ['lodash','express']

let packages = bruco('/path/to/someFile.jsx');
// packages now an Array of npm package names, e.g. ['react','react-dom','lodash']

Searching an array of files

let packages = bruco([
    '/path/to/file1.js',
    '/path/to/file2.js',
    '/path/to/file3.jsx'
    ...
]);

Recursively searching a directory

If a String path to a directory (instead of a file) is sent all files under that directory will be searched:

let packages = bruco('./')

You can nest these search kinds

let packages = bruco([
    '/path/to/dir', [
        '/nestedArr/1.js',
        '/another/dir',
        '/nestedArr/2.jsx'
    ],
    '/just/a/single/file.js'
    ...
]);

Options

All options are...optional:

• ignore Array or String : Standard glob ignore rules.
• all Function : Will receive an Array of all String literals found within require or import calls, including the ones that were not included in the final collection. This can be used to build a larger view of package loading across your application, for instance. Things like ../../utils.js or $anIllegalNpmPaCkAgEname.

let packages = bruco('/path/to/dir', {
    ignore : [
        '**/node_modules/**'
    ],
    all : a => debug('ALL:', a)
});
