💖 COMMONIZE(1) 💖

okay bestie, gather round, because this is commonize, the JavaScript transpiler that turns your code into Node-compatible CommonJS. she's a user command, she's 0.10.8, and she is literally here to make your modules make sense. no cap. ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

commonize — JavaScript transpiler to Node-compatible CommonJS 🦋

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

commonize [options] <source directory> <output directory> [<module ID>
[<module ID> ...]]

so you give her a source directory, you give her an output directory, and if you're feeling extra you can hand her one or more <module ID>s too. main character energy fr fr. 💅

✨ OPTIONS ✨

  • -V, --version — spits out the version number. that's it, that's the whole job 👑
  • -c, --config [file] — a JSON configuration file. if you give her no file, or you literally just pass -, she reads from STDIN. versatile queen 💜
  • -w, --watch — continually rebuild. she just. keeps. going. obsessed with her stamina honestly 🔥
  • -x, --extension <js | coffee | ...> — the file extension she assumes when resolving module identifiers. tell her what flavor your files are 🍓
  • --relativize — rewrites all module identifiers to be relative. all of them. every single one. no exceptions 🌈
  • --follow-requires — scans modules for required dependencies, like a lil detective with a clipboard 🔍✨
  • --use-provides-module — respects the @providesModules pragma in files. she respects it 🫶
  • --cache-dir <directory> — alternate directory to use for the disk cache. put your cache somewhere else if you want 💅
  • --no-cache-dir — disables the disk cache entirely. no cache, no problem, we die like legends 💀
  • --source-charset <utf8 | win1252 | ...> — charset of the source. default is utf8 ✨
  • --output-charset <utf8 | win1252 | ...> — charset of the output. default is also utf8 🎀
  • -h, --help — displays help for the command. she'll explain herself, she's not shy 💖
lowkey important: both charset options default to utf8, so if you don't say anything she just assumes utf8 on the way in and on the way out. that's the vibe. 😌

and that's the whole page, bestie!! go forth and commonize your little heart out 🧚

this was commonize version 0.10.8, dated October 2023 — mwah, love that for her 💋💖
