Rechoir is a versatile npm package that allows you to prepare a Node.js environment for requiring files of various extensions. The package can register any file type that has a module loader within the npm ecosystem, in conjunction with interpret-like objects. Being a dependency of Liftoff, it can automatically load and register transpilers such as Coffee-Script but requires a local installation as these are not bundled with the module.
Using Rechoir can be quite straightforward. First, you install the package using npm. Then to employ it, you need to require both the 'interpret' and 'rechoir' modules in your JavaScript file. The 'interpret' module holds the configurations for the file extensions, and rechoir will prepare those files for usage. Below is a code example for clarity:
const config = require('interpret').extensions;
const rechoir = require('rechoir');
rechoir.prepare(config, './test/fixtures/test.coffee');
rechoir.prepare(config, './test/fixtures/test.csv');
rechoir.prepare(config, './test/fixtures/test.toml');
console.log(require('./test/fixtures/test.coffee'));
console.log(require('./test/fixtures/test.csv'));
console.log(require('./test/fixtures/test.toml'));
In the above snippet, the rechoir.prepare
command is registering loaders for .coffee, .csv, and .toml files in a mocked testing environment. The subsequent console.log
commands will then output the required files.
Documentation for Rechoir can be found within the package's GitHub Readme file, which provides a comprehensive understanding of what the module is and how you can use it in your project. You can access the readme by visiting the GitHub page for the Rechoir npm package. For more detail on how to configure different file types for loading, you can also refer to the documentation for the npm interpret module, which Rechoir works in conjunction with.
