rechoir
Require any supported file as a node module.
What is it?
This module, in conjunction with interpret-like objects can register any file type the npm ecosystem has a module loader for. This library is a dependency of Liftoff.
API
prepare(config, filepath, requireFrom)
Look for a module loader associated with the provided file and attempt require it. If necessary, run any setup required to inject it into require.extensions.
config
An interpret-like configuration object.
filepath
A file whose type you'd like to register a module loader for.
requireFrom
An optional path to start searching for the module required to load the requested file. Defaults to the directory of filepath
.
If calling this method is successful (aka: it doesn't throw), you can now require files of the type you requested natively.
An error with a failures
property will be thrown if the module loader(s) configured for a given extension cannot be registered.
If a loader is already registered, this will simply return true
.
Note: While rechoir will automatically load and register transpilers like coffee-script
, you must provide a local installation. The transpilers are not bundled with this module.
Usage
const config = require('interpret').extensions;
const rechoir = require('rechoir');
rechoir.prepare(config, './test/fixtures/test.coffee');
rechoir.prepare(config, './test/fixtures/test.csv');
rechoir.prepare(config, './test/fixtures/test.toml');
console.log(require('./test/fixtures/test.coffee'));
console.log(require('./test/fixtures/test.csv'));
console.log(require('./test/fixtures/test.toml'));
