re•i•fy verb, transitive
re•i•fied past re•i•fies present re•i•fy•ing participle re•i•fi•ca•tion noun re•i•fi•er noun
- to make (something abstract) more concrete or real
"these instincts are, in humans, reified as verbal constructs" - to regard or treat (an idea, concept, etc.) as if having material existence
- to enable ECMAScript 2015 modules in any version of Node.js
Usage
- Run
npm install --save reify
in your package or app directory. The
--save
is important because reification only applies to modules in
packages that explicitly depend on the reify
package. - Call
require("reify")
before importing modules that contain import
and export
statements.
You can also easily reify
the Node REPL:
% node
> require("reify/repl")
{}
> import { strictEqual } from "assert"
> strictEqual(2 + 2, 5)
AssertionError: 4 === 5
