detective-es6

Get the dependencies of an ES6 module

npm install detective-es6

Usage

const fs = require('fs');
const detective = require('detective-es6');

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

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

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

You may also (optionally) configure the detective via a second object argument detective(src, options) that supports the following options:

• skipTypeImports: (Boolean) whether or not to omit type imports (import type {foo} from "mylib";) in the list of extracted dependencies.
• skipAsyncImports: (Boolean) whether or not to omit async imports (import('foo')) in the list of extracted dependencies.
