node-optimize-es

This is a modified version of node-optimize at https://github.com/danielgindi/node-optimize for compatibility with ECMAScript 6+. The original project was not updated for years.

We all need a tool to optimize a node.js project and create a single js file from it, Taking care of requires and leaving out node_modules.

Well I needed one too, and there wasn't one, so I build it!

Usage:

	var NodeOptimizer = require('node-optimize');
	var optimizer = new NodeOptimizer({ 
		ignore: [
			'config/db.js',
			'private/some-other-file.js',
		]
	});
	
    var mergedJs = optimizer.merge('main.js'); // node-optimize will automatically resolve that path for 'main.js' using path.resolve(...)
	
	require('fs').writeFile(require('path').resolve('main.optimized.js'), mergedJs);

What's in the bag

options.ignore -> Tell it which files to ignore in the process of expanding the require calls.
Automatically ignores core modules, or modules from node_modules.
Currently handles *.js, *.json, and directory modules (with or without package.json/main).
Functionality of require statements stay the same - loading on demand, loading once, and synthesizing the module global object.
Handling of cyclic references same as node.js's' native implementation
Using include option to include files which are not automatically detected (because of dynamic requires using variables and other complex loading mechanisms)
Loading modules which were specified using complex require statement (i.e. require(moduleName + '_' + index))

Note: Support for require of module folders (with parsing of package.json etc.) will be added in the future.
