# enhanced-resolve
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Offers an async require.resolve function. It's highly configurable.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
## Features
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
* plugin system
 | 
						|
* provide a custom filesystem
 | 
						|
* sync and async node.js filesystems included
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
## Getting Started
 | 
						|
### Install
 | 
						|
```sh
 | 
						|
# npm
 | 
						|
npm install enhanced-resolve
 | 
						|
# or Yarn
 | 
						|
yarn add enhanced-resolve
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
### Creating a Resolver
 | 
						|
The easiest way to create a resolver is to use the `createResolver` function on `ResolveFactory`, along with one of the supplied File System implementations.
 | 
						|
```js
 | 
						|
const {
 | 
						|
  NodeJsInputFileSystem,
 | 
						|
  CachedInputFileSystem,
 | 
						|
  ResolverFactory
 | 
						|
} = require('enhanced-resolve');
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
// create a resolver
 | 
						|
const myResolver = ResolverFactory.createResolver({
 | 
						|
  // Typical usage will consume the `NodeJsInputFileSystem` + `CachedInputFileSystem`, which wraps the Node.js `fs` wrapper to add resilience + caching.
 | 
						|
  fileSystem: new CachedInputFileSystem(new NodeJsInputFileSystem(), 4000),
 | 
						|
  extensions: ['.js', '.json']
 | 
						|
  /* any other resolver options here. Options/defaults can be seen below */
 | 
						|
});
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
// resolve a file with the new resolver
 | 
						|
const context = {};
 | 
						|
const lookupStartPath = '/Users/webpack/some/root/dir';
 | 
						|
const request = './path/to-look-up.js';
 | 
						|
myResolver.resolve({}, lookupStartPath, request, (err/*Error*/, filepath/*string*/) => {
 | 
						|
  // Do something with the path
 | 
						|
});
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
For more examples creating different types resolvers (sync/async, context, etc) see `lib/node.js`.
 | 
						|

## Plugins
 | 
						|
Similar to `webpack`, the core of `enhanced-resolve` functionality is implemented as individual plugins that are executed using [`Tapable`](https://github.com/webpack/tapable). These plugins can extend the functionality of the library, adding other ways for files/contexts to be resolved.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
A plugin should be a `class` (or its ES5 equivalent) with an `apply` method. The `apply` method will receive a `resolver` instance, that can be used to hook in to the event system.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
### Plugin Boilerplate
 | 
						|
```js
 | 
						|
class MyResolverPlugin {
 | 
						|
  constructor(source, target) {
 | 
						|
    this.source = source;
 | 
						|
    this.target = target;
 | 
						|
  }
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
  apply(resolver) {
 | 
						|
    resolver.plugin(this.source, (request, callback) => {
 | 
						|
      // Any logic you need to create a new `request` can go here
 | 
						|
      resolver.doResolve(this.target, request, null, callback);
 | 
						|
    });
 | 
						|
  }
 | 
						|
}
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Plugins are executed in a pipeline, and register which event they should be executed before/after. In the example above, `source` is the name of the event that starts the pipeline, and `target` is what event this plugin should fire, which is what continues the execution of the pipeline. For an example of how these different plugin events create a chain, see `lib/ResolverFactory.js`, in the `//// pipeline ////` section.

## Passing options from webpack
 | 
						|
If you are using `webpack`, and you want to pass custom options to `enhanced-resolve`, the options are passed from the `resolve` key of your webpack configuration e.g.:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
resolve: {
 | 
						|
  extensions: ['', '.js', '.jsx'],
 | 
						|
  modules: ['src', 'node_modules'],
 | 
						|
  plugins: [new DirectoryNamedWebpackPlugin()]
 | 
						|
  ...
 | 
						|
},
 | 
						|
```
