# use-strict Makes all modules in Node get loaded in strict mode. ## Usage ```javascript require('use-strict') // That's it, now everything is strict forever. // in other words: FTFY, YOU'RE WELCOME. ``` ## Downside Strict mode in JavaScript is virtually always a great thing. It prevents accidental global leakage, turns silent mistakes into errors, and removes `with` and `arguments.callee` and their sordid complexities. It's mostly a Good Thing. Unfortunately, it also removes octal literals, which is kind of a bummer. You can pass octal strings to Node's functions that deal with file modes, and they'll do the right thing, so it's not completely horrible. The implementation works by patching Node's internal `module.wrapper` array, and then freezing it, so that further modifications are not possible. This means that error printouts that occur on the first line of a node module will be off by a few characters, since Node does a bit of math to account for its wrapper script, which will now be off by 13 characters. This is probably not a big problem, and not really worth working around. Also, this means that the *current* module will not be affected. You should still `"use strict"` in the module that does `require('use-strict')`. This module applies strictness to all *future* modules loaded by your program. **Note** You can also run `node --use_strict` and get the same effect without any of the caveats.
