History

Florian Dold 82f2b76e25 Reorganize module loading. We now use webpack instead of SystemJS, effectively bundling modules into one file (plus commons chunks) for every entry point. This results in a much smaller extension size (almost half). Furthermore we use yarn/npm even for extension run-time dependencies. This relieves us from manually vendoring and building dependencies. It's also easier to understand for new developers familiar with node.		2017-04-24 16:14:29 +02:00

interpret

A dictionary of file extensions and associated module loaders.

What is it

This is used by Liftoff to automatically require dependencies for configuration files, and by rechoir for registering module loaders.

API

extensions

Map file types to modules which provide a require.extensions loader.

jsVariants

Same as above, but only include the extensions which are javascript variants.

How to use it

Consumers should use the exported extensions or jsVariants object to determine which module should be loaded for a given extension. If a matching extension is found, consumers should do the following:

If the value is null, do nothing.
If the value is a string, try to require it.
If the value is an object, try to require the module property. If successful, the register property (a function) should be called with the module passed as the first argument.
If the value is an array, iterate over it, attempting step #2 or #3 until one of the attempts does not throw.
