API

Tangler exports two functions, require and run.

• tangler.require(path, origin = null, options = {})

  Require an ES6 module. All properties are bindings to the variables exported from the module. The default property is the binding to the module's default value, if present.

• tangler.run(path, origin = null, options = {})

  Run an ES6 module from entry point path. Any exported values from the module being run will throw an error

• tangler.transformStack(stackTrace)

  Returns a transformed stack trace that uses source maps to provide accurate error locations in the source.

If origin is null or unspecified, module paths will be resolved from the current working directory.

Usage

var tangler = require('tangler');

// for better error reporting
process.on('uncaughtException', (err) => {
	console.log(tangler.transformStack(err.stack));
	process.exit(1);
});

var myImportedModule = tangler.require('path/to/module', __dirname);

console.log(myImportedModule.someExportedFunction());

Command

$ tangler path/to/module/entry.js

Equivalent to calling

tangler.run('path/to/module/entry.js');
