Detect the programming language of any file by checking the file name, file extension, file shebang and falling back to a programming language classifier. For more language information, it should be used in conjunction with language-map.

``
npm install language-detect --save
`

Usage

`javascript
var detect = require('language-detect');
`

$3

`javascript
detect(__dirname + '/test.js', function (err, language) {
console.log(err); //=> null
console.log(language); //=> "JavaScript"
});
`

$3

`javascript
detect.sync(__dirname + '/test.js'); //=> "JavaScript"
`

$3

`javascript
detect.contents(__dirname + '/test.js', 'var test = true;\n'); //=> "JavaScript"
`

$3

`javascript
detect.filename(__dirname + '/test.js'); //=> "JavaScript"
