auto-strict

auto-strict

Makes all local modules (that is, everything except the stuff in node_modules/) in Node get loaded in strict mode. To add 'use strict' to all modules including the ones in node_modules, take a look at https://github.com/isaacs/use-strict (which was my inspiration for this module). Or use node --use_strict to get the same effect.

Usage

In your entrypoint file, put this at the very top:

'use strict';
require('auto-strict')
// That's it, now all your modules included after this line is strict forever.

Yeah, that's right, you still have to manually put 'use strict'; in your entrypoint file, because at that point, we haven't yet had a chance to patch the module compilation. All modules required after the require('auto-strict') line will have it.

Remarks

The implementation works by patching Node's internal module.prototype._compile function. The only thing it does, is check whether the file is not under the node_modules folder, and then prefixes the file content with 'use strict';
