nguyenchr/require-lint

Verify that require statements match your package.json

require-lint

Parses your code for require statements, and checks that:

• all required dependencies are mentioned in package.json
• all depedencies in package.json are still being used

$ npm install -g require-lint
$ require-lint

[WARN] Extraneous dependencies: lodash
[ERROR] Missing dependencies: attempt, express

Extraneous dependencies only print a warning, but missing dependencies trigger an exit code of 1.

Note: require-lint doesn't check dev dependencies, since test code doesn't typically have a single entry point

Defaut behaviour

By default, it looks for a package.json in the current folder.

$ require-lint

It then parses your source from the entry points declared as main and bin:

{
  "main": "./lib/index.js",
  "bin": {
    "foo": "./bin/foo.js",
    "bar": "./bin/bar.js"
  }
}

Options

You can also specify the following options

• --pkg

The path to your package.json.

$ require-lint --pkg ~/dev/thing/package.json

• --src

The path to additional entry points. These must be relative to the given package.json.

$ require-lint --src lib/server.js --src lib/worker.js

• --require

Any file to be required before processing, for example to load extra compilers like Coffee-Script. These must be absolute paths or available modules.

$ require-lint --require coffee-script/register

Dev notes

$ npm install
$ npm test

Other projects

Note: inspired by dependency-check. This implementation relies on Module._compile to add support Coffee-Script.
