Package description
The interpret npm package is designed to be a dictionary of require extensions and associated file extensions. It allows developers to automatically register the appropriate require extension for files based on their file extensions. This is particularly useful when working with different types of files that need to be required in Node.js applications, such as .coffee, .ts, or .jsx files.
Registering require extensions
This code retrieves the require extension for TypeScript files, allowing Node.js to understand how to process and import .ts files.
require('interpret').extensions['.ts']Associating file extensions with custom handlers
This code demonstrates how to associate a custom file extension (.custom) with a custom compiler or handler to be used when requiring files with that extension.
var interpret = require('interpret');
var extensions = interpret.extensions;
extensions['.custom'] = require('my-custom-compiler');Rechoir is a package that allows you to automatically register the appropriate require hooks based on a file's extension. It is similar to interpret but goes a step further by actually attempting to require the necessary module to handle the file extension.
Liftoff is a CLI framework that builds on top of interpret. It enables applications to specify which interpreters they support for configuration files, and it will automatically require the necessary dependencies.
This package is used to hook into the require function to add support for transpiling files on the fly. It is similar to interpret in that it deals with require extensions, but it focuses more on the runtime aspect of transpiling or processing files.
Readme
A dictionary of file extensions and associated module loaders.
This is used by rechoir for registering module loaders.
Map file types to modules which provide a require.extensions loader.

Check here to see if setup is needed for the module register itself with require.extensions. If a method is returned, call it with the module.
