module-deps
walk the dependency graph to generate json output that can be fed into
browser-pack
![build status](https://secure.travis-ci.org/substack/module-deps.png)
example
var mdeps = require('module-deps');
var JSONStream = require('JSONStream');
var md = mdeps();
md.pipe(JSONStream.stringify()).pipe(process.stdout);
md.end({ file: __dirname + '/files/main.js' });
output:
$ node example/deps.js
[
{"id":"/home/substack/projects/module-deps/example/files/main.js","source":"var foo = require('./foo');\nconsole.log('main: ' + foo(5));\n","entry":true,"deps":{"./foo":"/home/substack/projects/module-deps/example/files/foo.js"}}
,
{"id":"/home/substack/projects/module-deps/example/files/foo.js","source":"var bar = require('./bar');\n\nmodule.exports = function (n) {\n return n * 111 + bar(n);\n};\n","deps":{"./bar":"/home/substack/projects/module-deps/example/files/bar.js"}}
,
{"id":"/home/substack/projects/module-deps/example/files/bar.js","source":"module.exports = function (n) {\n return n * 100;\n};\n","deps":{}}
]
and you can feed this json data into
browser-pack:
$ node example/deps.js | browser-pack | node
main: 1055
usage
usage: module-deps [files]
generate json output from each entry file
methods
var mdeps = require('module-deps')
var d = mdeps(opts={})
Return an object transform stream d
that expects entry filenames or
{ id: ..., file: ... }
objects as input and produces objects for every
dependency from a recursive module traversal as output.
Each file in files
can be a string filename or a stream.
Optionally pass in some opts
:
-
opts.transform
- a string or array of string transforms (see below)
-
opts.transformKey
- an array path of strings showing where to look in the
package.json for source transformations. If falsy, don't look at the
package.json at all.
-
opts.resolve
- custom resolve function using the
opts.resolve(id, parent, cb)
signature that
browser-resolve has
-
opts.filter
- a function (id) to skip resolution of some module id
strings.
If defined, opts.filter(id)
should return truthy for all the ids to include
and falsey for all the ids to skip.
-
opts.postFilter
- a function (id, file, pkg) that gets called after id
has
been resolved. Return false to skip this file.
-
opts.packageFilter
- transform the parsed package.json contents before using
the values. opts.packageFilter(pkg, dir)
should return the new pkg
object to
use.
-
opts.noParse
- an array of absolute paths to not parse for dependencies. Use
this for large dependencies like jquery or threejs which take forever to parse.
-
opts.cache
- an object mapping filenames to file objects to skip costly io
-
opts.packageCache
- an object mapping filenames to their parent package.json
contents for browser fields, main entries, and transforms
-
opts.paths
- array of global paths to search. Defaults to splitting on ':'
in process.env.NODE_PATH
-
opts.ignoreMissing
- ignore files that failed to resolve
input objects
Input objects should be string filenames or objects with these parameters:
row.file
- filenamerow.expose
- name to be exposed asrow.noparse
when true, don't parse the file contents for dependencies
or objects can specify transforms:
row.transform
- string name, path, or functionrow.options
- transform options as an objectrow.global
- boolean, whether the transform is global
events
d.on('transform', function (tr, file) {})
Every time a transform is applied to a file
, a 'transform'
event fires with
the instantiated transform stream tr
.
d.on('file', function (file) {})
Every time a file is read, this event fires with the file path.
d.on('missing', function (id, parent) {})
When opts.ignoreMissing
is enabled, this event fires for each missing package.
d.on('package', function (pkg) {})
Every time a package is read, this event fires. The directory name of the
package is available in pkg.__dirname
.
transforms
module-deps can be configured to run source transformations on files before
parsing them for require()
calls. These transforms are useful if you want to
compile a language like coffeescript on the fly or
if you want to load static assets into your bundle by parsing the AST for
fs.readFileSync()
calls.
If the transform is a function, it should take the file
name as an argument
and return a through stream that will be written file contents and should output
the new transformed file contents.
If the transform is a string, it is treated as a module name that will resolve
to a module that is expected to follow this format:
var through = require('through');
module.exports = function (file) { return through() };
You don't necessarily need to use the
through module to create a
readable/writable filter stream for transforming file contents, but this is an
easy way to do it.
When you call mdeps()
with an opts.transform
, the transformations you
specify will not be run for any files in node_modules/. This is because modules
you include should be self-contained and not need to worry about guarding
themselves against transformations that may happen upstream.
Modules can apply their own transformations by setting a transformation pipeline
in their package.json at the opts.transformKey
path. These transformations
only apply to the files directly in the module itself, not to the module's
dependants nor to its dependencies.
package.json transformKey
Transform keys live at a configurable location in the package.json denoted by
the opts.transformKey
array.
For a transformKey of ['foo','bar']
, the transformKey can be a single string
("fff"
):
{
"foo": {
"bar": "fff"
}
}
or an array of strings (["fff","ggg"]
):
{
"foo": {
"bar": ["fff","ggg"]
}
}
If you want to pass options to the transforms, you can use a 2-element array
inside of the primary array. Here fff
gets an options object with {"x":3}
and ggg
gets {"y":4}
:
{
"foo": {
"bar": [["fff",{"x":3}],["ggg",{"y":4}]]
}
}
usage
