Match require statements in a string. Returns an array of matching require statements. Each match is an object with line number, variable name, and module name. Statements in code comments are ignored.
npm install match-requires> Match require statements in a string. Returns an array of matching require statements. Each match is an object with line number, variable name, and module name. Statements in code comments are ignored.
Please consider following this project's author, Jon Schlinkert, and consider starring the project to show your :heart: and support.
Install with npm:
``sh`
$ npm install --save match-requires
`js`
const matches = require('match-requires');
console.log(matches('require(\'a-b-c\');\nvar fooBar = require(\'foo-bar\');'));
Returns:
`js`
[ { string: 'require(\'a-b-c\');',
variable: '',
name: 'a-b-c' },
{ string: 'var fooBar = require(\'foo-bar\');',
variable: 'fooBar',
name: 'foo-bar' } ]
To ignore require() statements found inside code comments, pass true as the second argument to strip comments before matching. Alternatively, you may pass a function as the second argument to use your own approach to stripping comments.
_Without_ comments stripped
`js`
console.log(matches('/ require(\'a-b-c\');/\nvar fooBar = require(\'foo-bar\');'));
// [ { string: 'require(\'a-b-c\');', variable: '', name: 'a-b-c' },
// { string: 'var fooBar = require(\'foo-bar\');',
// variable: 'fooBar',
// name: 'foo-bar' } ]
_With_ comments stripped
`js`
console.log(matches('/ require(\'a-b-c\');/\nvar fooBar = require(\'foo-bar\');', true));
// [ { string: 'var fooBar = require(\'foo-bar\');',
// variable: 'fooBar',
// name: 'foo-bar' } ]
_With_ custom function
`js`
const str = '/ require(\'a-b-c\');/\nvar fooBar = require(\'foo-bar\');';
const fn = require('some-comment-stripping-library');
console.log(matches(str, fn));
// [ { string: 'var fooBar = require(\'foo-bar\');',
// variable: 'fooBar',
// name: 'foo-bar' } ]
