amdextract

Extracts AMD modules, their parts and an optimized output without unused dependencies.

example

source.js

define("module1", ["view/a", "view/b"], function (a, b) {
	var t = new a();
});

define("module2", ["view/a", "view/b", "view/c"], function (a, b, c) {
	b.fetch();
});

example.js

var fs = require('fs');
var amdextract = require('amdextract');

var content = fs.readFileSync('source.js');
var result = amdextract.parse(content);

console.log(result.results.length + ' modules detected.');

result.results.forEach(function (r) {
	console.log('Unused paths: ' + r.unusedPaths.join(', '));
});

console.log('\nOptimized output:');
console.log(result.optimizedContent);

coutput

2 modules detected.
Unused paths: view/b
Unused paths: view/a, view/c

Optimized output:

define(["view/a"], function (a) {
	var t = new a();
});

define(["view/b"], function (b) {
	var t = b;
});

methods

parse(content[, options])

content

Type: string
JavaScript source for parsing.

options

excepts

Type: Array
Default value: []

An array of strings or RegExps that represent dependency names that should not take into account.

exceptsPaths

Type: Array
Default value: []

An array of strings or RegExps that represent dependency paths that should not take into account.

NOTE: exceptsPaths can also be declared before each module definition as a comment of strings of module paths separated by commas. This only applies on the underlying module definition.

/* exceptsPaths: view/c */
define(["view/a", "view/b", "view/c"], function (a, b, c) {
	b.fetch();
});

removeUnusedDependencies

Type: Boolean
Default value: false

Removes unused dependencies from content and returns optimized content as optimizedContent property of result.

returns

Returns an object with the following properties:

results

Type: Array

An array of hash objects witch have this properties for each AMD module detected in content:

moduleId
paths
dependencies
unusedPaths
unusedDependencies
bodyWithComments
bodyWithoutComments
comments

optimizedContent

Type: String

Optimized content (original content without unused dependencies).
This property is available when the value of option removeUnusedDependencies is true.
