> Get the type of an AMD module used for an AST node or within a file

```sh
npm install get-amd-module-type
```

## Usage

```js
// ESM
import getType from 'get-amd-module-type';
// or CJS
const getType = require('get-amd-module-type');

// Async
getType('my/file.js', (error, type) => {
  if (error) throw error;
  console.log(type);
});

let type;

// Sync
type = getType.sync('my/file.js');

// From source code
type = getType.fromSource('define() {}');

// From an AST node
type = getType.fromAST(node);
```

The returned `type` will be any of the following:

* `'named'`: `define('name', [deps], func)`
* `'deps'`: `define([deps], func)`
* `'rem'`: `define(function(require, exports, module){});`
* `'factory'`: `define(function(require){})`
* `'nodeps'`: `define({})`
* `'driver'`: `require([deps], function)`
