### Precinct [![npm](http://img.shields.io/npm/v/precinct.svg)](https://npmjs.org/package/precinct) [![npm](http://img.shields.io/npm/dm/precinct.svg)](https://npmjs.org/package/precinct)

> Unleash the detectives

`npm install --save precinct`

Uses the appropriate detective to find the dependencies of a file or its AST.

Supports:

* JavaScript modules: AMD, CommonJS, and ES6.
* Typescript
* CSS Preprocessors: Sass, Stylus, and Less
* CSS (PostCSS)

### Usage

```js
var precinct = require('precinct');

var content = fs.readFileSync('myFile.js', 'utf8');

// Pass in a file's content or an AST
var deps = precinct(content);
```

You may pass options (to individual detectives) based on the module type via an optional second object argument `detective(content, options), for example:

Example call: `precinct(content, { amd: { skipLazyLoaded: true } });`

 - The supported module type prefixes are `amd`, `commonjs`, `es6`, `sass`, `stylus`, `less`

Current options:

* `amd.skipLazyLoaded`: tells the AMD detective to omit lazy-loaded dependencies (i.e., inner requires).
* `es6.mixedImports`: allows for all dependencies to be fetched from a file that contains both CJS and ES6 imports.
 - Note: This will work for any file format that contains an es6 import.
* `css.url`: tells the CSS detective to include `url()` references to images, fonts, etc.


Finding non-JavaScript (ex: Sass and Stylus) dependencies:

```js
var content = fs.readFileSync('styles.scss', 'utf8');

var deps = precinct(content, { type: 'sass' });
var deps2 = precinct(content, { type: 'stylus' });
```

Or, if you just want to pass in a filepath and get the dependencies:

```js
var paperwork = require('precinct').paperwork;

var deps = paperwork('myFile.js');
var deps2 = paperwork('styles.scss');
```

###### `precinct.paperwork(filename, options)`

Supported options:

* `includeCore`: (default: true) set to `false` to exclude core Node dependencies from the list of dependencies.
* `fileSystem`: (default: undefined) set to an alternative `fs` implementation that will be used to read the file path.
* You may also pass detective-specific configuration like you would to `precinct(content, options)`.

#### CLI

*Assumes a global install of `npm install -g precinct`*

`precinct [options] path/to/file`

* Run `precinct --help` to see options
