# rechoir [](http://travis-ci.org/tkellen/js-rechoir)
|
|
> Require any supported file as a node module.
|
|
|
|
[](https://nodei.co/npm/rechoir/)
|
|
|
|
## What is it?
|
|
This module, in conjunction with [interpret]-like objects can register any file type the npm ecosystem has a module loader for. This library is a dependency of [Liftoff].
|
|
|
|
## API
|
|
|
|
### prepare(config, filepath, requireFrom)
|
|
Look for a module loader associated with the provided file and attempt require it. If necessary, run any setup required to inject it into [require.extensions](http://nodejs.org/api/globals.html#globals_require_extensions).
|
|
|
|
`config` An [interpret]-like configuration object.
|
|
|
|
`filepath` A file whose type you'd like to register a module loader for.
|
|
|
|
`requireFrom` An optional path to start searching for the module required to load the requested file. Defaults to the directory of `filepath`.
|
|
|
|
If calling this method is successful (aka: it doesn't throw), you can now require files of the type you requested natively.
|
|
|
|
An error with a `failures` property will be thrown if the module loader(s) configured for a given extension cannot be registered.
|
|
|
|
If a loader is already registered, this will simply return `true`.
|
|
|
|
**Note:** While rechoir will automatically load and register transpilers like `coffee-script`, you must provide a local installation. The transpilers are **not** bundled with this module.
|
|
|
|
#### Usage
|
|
```js
|
|
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'));
|
|
```
