> Get the dependencies of a CommonJS module by traversing its AST

```sh
npm install detective-cjs
```

But dude, substack already built this: node-detective. Yes, but I needed the capability to reuse an AST
and this was unlikely to be merged timely. I can also support jsx and other syntactic constructs faster.

## Usage

```js
const fs = require('fs');
const detective = require('detective-cjs');

const mySourceCode = fs.readFileSync('myfile.js', 'utf8');

// Pass in a file's content or an AST
const dependencies = detective(mySourceCode);
```

* Supports JSX, ES7, and any other features that [node-source-walk](https://github.com/dependents/node-source-walk) supports.
