#install-requires

Warning: this module is currently in a dirty-hack stage.

Install all dependencies require'd within your JS code without needing a package.json. Intended for quick and dirty prototyping.

Why?

• Copy and paste code and run it (almost) immediately.
• Throw together scratch code without having to set up a package.json.
• Be lazy

Installation

npm install -g install-requires

Usage

Recursively walk through all dependencies in a js file and install any that are missing:

install-requires mycode.js

You can also include multiple js files:

install-requires mycode.js mycode2.js mycode3.js

Features wanted

• print the dependencies that are being installed
• option to --save or --save-dev when a package.json exists:
• don't be a dirty hack

It's a dirty hack

Currently this abuses browserify and installify to get the job done. This should be written in a more dignified way, but works as is for now.
