> Find the dependencies of a Stylus file

```sh
npm install detective-stylus
```

It's the Stylus counterpart to
[detective](https://github.com/substack/node-detective),
[detective-amd](https://github.com/dependents/node-detective-amd),
[detective-es6](https://github.com/dependents/node-detective-es6),
and [detective-sass](https://github.com/dependents/node-detective-sass).

Note: this detective uses a regex to find the `@import` or `@require` statements.

## Usage

### ESM

```js
import fs from 'node:fs';
import detective from 'detective-stylus';

const content = fs.readFileSync('styles.styl', 'utf8');

// list of imported file names (ex: '_foo.styl', '_foo', etc)
const dependencies = detective(content);
```

### CommonJS

```js
const { default: detective } = require('detective-stylus');
```
