@superjs/require-auto

start node script without node_modules, install on require.

Thought

No package.json, no node_modules, simply write the script, require dependencies, and run with require-auto

Example

Install @superjs/require-auto globally:

npm i -g @superjs/require-auto

Then you can start a node script like this:

require-auto app.js

The dependencies will be installed in the dir of app.js.

You can also write app.js with first line as #!/usr/bin/env require-auto, just like below:

#!/usr/bin/env require-auto

const superagent = require('superagent')
const wait = require('@superjs/wait')
let { body } = wait(superagent.get('https://api.npms.io/v2/search?q=scope:superjs'))
console.log(`body:`, body)

Run it with

./app.js

Programmatic Usage

//after this, hook created for require, for every file
require('@superjs/require-auto') 

//if 'something' can't be resolved, I will `npm i something` then require it
require('something')
