detective-cjs

Get the dependencies of a CommonJS module by traversing its AST

npm install detective-cjs

But dude, substack already built this: node-detective. Yes, but I needed the capability to reuse an AST and this was unlikely to be merged timely. I can also support jsx and other syntactic constructs faster.

Usage

const fs = require('fs');
const detective = require('detective-cjs');

const mySourceCode = fs.readFileSync('myfile.js', 'utf8');

// Pass in a file's content or an AST
const dependencies = detective(mySourceCode);

// Use skipLazyLoaded to only include top-level requires,
// treating inline (lazy-loaded) requires as intentional and legal
const topLevelOnly = detective(mySourceCode, { skipLazyLoaded: true });

• Supports JSX, ES7, and any other features that node-source-walk supports.
