But dude, substack already built this: node-detective. Yes, but I needed the capability to reuse an AST
and this was unlikely to be merged timely. I can also support jsx and other syntactic constructs faster.
`js
const fs = require('fs');
const detective = require('detective-cjs');
const mySourceCode = fs.readFileSync('myfile.js', 'utf8');
// Pass in a file's content or an AST
const dependencies = detective(mySourceCode);
``
* Supports JSX, ES7, and any other features that node-source-walk supports.
